Speaking of vaporizing small traces, there were posts some months back that I
thought was a good idea for an inexpensive low amperage fuse......
Use a single strand (short length) of wire from a multi-strand conductor. You
may want to imperically test the melting point of the wire (fuse blowing) by
putting a known current through it.....

Just FYI.
