skittlesRgood Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 gauge doesnt really matter. small solder for small wire/circuit boards. large solder for large wire. you can use small solder for large wire, you just have to feed a lot of it.

Rev. Wrath Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Spend some money on heat shrink tube if you decide to use it. I've used the cheap stuff before, and it doesn't seem to shrink as much as it should. Also, butt connectors will hold great if you crimp them right. If you look inside the connector, there is a seam on the metal tube. Make sure the punch part of the crimpers is 180 degrees away from the seam when you compress and it will hold forever. I personally don't use them anymore because it's something else to add resistance to the wire whereas twisting and soldering basically makes one continuous wire... And I got tired of buying them lol. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
