Tried to change the battery on a ORAS 272101 smart water valve control unit and instead ripped off the entire SMD battery holder, which in turn pulled one of the traces and pads off the PCB. Thankfully I was able to glue it back and resolder the battery case to its original spot.
The epoxy used in the video is CircuitWorks® Epoxy Overcoat CW2500 from Chemtronics.
