Like I said, I don't know much about soldering. I'm pretty sure the
wire is aluminum and stranded. It is high quality aircraft wire. It is
silver in color. Maybe its some alloy. Anyway, what I'm doing is
working for me. :-)

The stuff with the Teflon insulation?

TDD-

I think the stuff I use is teflon. It is very smooth and tough. I
bought a big roll of it about 20 years ago at an aircraft Mfg. plant
salvage yard.
