Soldering and a grease gun.
These will be used separately.
I've decided that I'm going to try making solder connections since at work we can't seem to keep he crip-on connecters in stock. But I've never done any soldering before. If I'm going to be soldering 14 and 16 gage wires together (either end to end, or splicing in a branch) what solder, what technique, and what soldering tool? Can I solder the ends using a small butane torch or will this require a real soldering iron? I'll never be soldering a wire directly to a component, but I may need to solder on a terminal. And the grease gun: anyone know how to locate a grease gun (manual, preferably pistol-grip) that won't leak and dribble when the grease starts to separate? -- B.B. --I am not a goat! thegoat4 at airmail dot net |
