Control Board Button Soldering/Desoldering

Hello! I'm working on a project which will have BlinkyTape encased inside some clear PVC. I'd like to be able to put the mode switch button on the outside of the PVC; is there any reason not to de-solder the button currently attached to the Blinky control board, and instead solder wires onto the contact points that connect to a button a few inches away?

This will also enable me to use one button to control the mode-switch on both of my BlinkyTapes - by wiring both up to the same button.

    Cool! That modification sounds fine. Just be sure to test it before sealing in the PVC, of course!

    Do you think there would be any way to do this without (de)-soldering? And did your project turn out?
