[Elecraft] K3 Circuit Board Traces

[Gary Bartlett VE1RGB]

    Here's a question for experienced ex-K2 types who have done 
Elecraft-approved mods involving replacement of SMTs on the main circuit 
board of the K3:

    Can I expect working with the K3 boards to be similar to working with 
the K2 circuit boards so far as lifting or damage to traces are concerned? 
Or are the traces smaller/lighter/thinner/more fragile on the K3 than on the 
K2 and accordingly require much greater caution?

    I've watched a good training video for working with SMTs but my concern 
is with the board and not with the process.  Even after nearly 48 years of 
kit-building including two all-up K2/100s, I'm still intimidated by the 
thought of those danged SMTs and can't decide whether or not I want to take 
'em on.
