Put the stranded wire into the wire nut first, then add the solid,
so the stranded is deeper in the wire nut, the threads will cut
into the solid and have a good hold of the stranded.

Does anyone have a sure fire method for wirenutting/pigtailing
stranded and solid wire together? Seems like when I do it half
the time the stranded will pull out when light force is applied
to the wire. Does it help to cut the solid wire a bit shorter
than the stranded wire so that the stranded wire can wrap around
the end of the solid wire and not push out when screwed onto the
wire nut?
