I am in the process of soldering ring terminals on 1/0 ga knu wire and for some reason its giving me a hell of a hard time... it takes forever as it is to get the damn knu wire into the terminal and then i put the torch on the back of the terminal for a bit to heat it up. I have done this before with help and no issues... Then the solder starts flowing into the wire for a bit then the solder just stops and sticks before i get the whole top done. Even with all that solder in there its not dripping out the bottom or anything. after im done theres this brown and yellow liquid gunk on top of my solder which bugs me and the terminals keep discoloring and looking like total crap . I am using a 1 inch flame, 60 40 solder 2% flux and also extra flux "lead free" (white cream) on top od all that and its still being stubborn.. I can deal witht he look as it can be dressed up but i dont want to sacrifice current/connection. any help would be great before i rip my damn hair out lol
