SOLVED Corduroy possible bridge

[pcb rookie]

After cleaning up my board, I notice that I had a small solder splash between R6 and R17. With the magnifiers it felt close to a bridge but It was probably fin. I tried multiple things to get it off from very gentle friction with a wooded tooth pick to desolder braid and it kept visually getting worst. Now I really wished I would have left it alone. Pulled out the probe to do a continuity test between R6 & R17 and there is continuity.

Now with the questions ... is there supposed to be continuity between these two resistors or did I just create it?

They're both grounded, so there should be continuity on the ground side. If the side with the solder bridge is the grounded side, you're fine.

Perfect! thanks for jumping in!

just checked and it's on the grounded side ! won't be by cleanest build but it will be fine... thanks again!

Quick tip: A fast and easy way to clean up solder between pads is to run your hot iron through it. A quick pass between the pads should pick up the solder and fix any issues with solder bridges.

Good and easy tip. i'll five it a try next time. thanks for jumping in!

If you have a solder pen or some smd paste I. A syringe put a dot on one of the components and reflow… the solder bridge will flow and pull over to the pasted side… hot and fast!

I'll give that I try!

I don't have a solder pen. What model do you use?

You don’t necessarily need that, you can just add a tiny bit of solder. You can also use a solder sucker to remove excess if you feel like you added too much.
