Does Your Hot Solder Drool and Cover Your Copper Wires Like Hot Butter?
Not mine. Ever try to put alike poles together on a magnet (positive to positive or negative to negative) and notice how they repel each other? That is my lifetime experience trying to solder a new copper wire to an OEM wire on a classic vehicle. Don't matter how short I cut the wire down to, how much flux I apply, or how I twist the wires together (or don't), or what type of solder I employ.
I watch those youtube videos where the solder just melts and covers both wires instantaneously and I get so envious I almost begin to drool.
