[QUOTE="Stalin-ohaulic, post: 6976496, member: 585517"] Ok that guy is not telling you the correct way to do it. He tells you to stick them in the freezer or run water over them too. You can't do that with solder. You must let it cool in stagnant air or you'll get cold solder joints. It's not that tough it just takes time. Heat the entire joint meaning the wire and the lug. Once it's been heated for 20-30 seconds start applying your solder. Let it sit for 5 minutes and you're good to go. Doing anything else will piss you off to no end like it is right now. The wire has to be at the solder's melting point or the solder will not bond to it. If you don't believe me do a little experiment. Melt some solder in a metal lid of some sort. Dip the solder in and quickly remove it. Then wipe the solder off [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Now heat the wire up really hot and put it in some melted solder. Watch it flow through the wire. Now try to pull the solder off. You can't do it. [/QUOTE]
