Actually, no, a Weller would be a poor choice that that

Not if you tin the wires first.

Still wrong, I'm afraid. It helps but won't alleviate the
problems.

Then explain how I was able to solder *three* #12 wires with just my
little 30-watt soldering iron. Did it just last night. Of course, I
made sure the tip was clean (using my trusty damp sponge in a tray),
and tinned the tip well before soldering. That's the key: if I don't
melt a little blob of solder on the tip before soldering the wire, I
can't do it at all.

Sorry, it's your responsibility you assumed to explain things, not
mine. A lot of jobs can be accomplished using improper and
incorrect tools: If that's how you do things, then more power to
you. If you're simply being a silly purist, then to hell with you. I
said it wouldn't alleviate the problems, and it won't. But that's
all I said. You've proven nothing, but I didn't ask you to prove
anything, and I could prove the opposite just as easily; probably
easier. But that's sideways to any points I made but which you seem
to want to become confrontational about. I believe in reality,
not in ****ing contests and purist applications of crap. Sorry; just off
the top of my head here. Feel however you wish; I'm
done with your illogic.

Logic, schmogic: I simply *did something* that you claimed was not
possible,

Maybe if I repeat myself: I did NOT ask you to do any such thing.

and asked you for an explantion. No "purist" about it (maybe
you're the purist here, but I'm sure as hell not).

And while we're not on the subject, just what is that with the
backquote (`) after your name? Is there a story there?

You'll never knowg.
