what did i do wrong here

Generally that type of insulation gets real weak and can only handle so much heat transfer.

Good 'ole soldering iron did the trick for me.

really? what did you just lay it on the back of the lug for 6 minutes and come back and boom or did you get all inside with the iron tip?

i have the 1.32 solder things from walmart lol i did notice as soon as the torch touched the wire instantly soaked it all up....where would be the best place for some solder with gerth??

Plan a trip to Lowes.

I'll just edit this one for your reply. Patience and a steady hand. I soldered 22 2/0 terminals the other day. You can get it on nice and even too.

lol most of us probably have a 15-20 watt iron. It could be done with an iron around 200w or so maybe

wait alex i just saw your sig..is your knu ultra fleks or the klma? if ultra fleks do you have pics you could post so i know what im striving for? lol

[Alex K]

Its not the flex. They used to have a 50$ 0 gauge kit, (exactally like their $26.99 4 gauge) but they don't sell it anymore. Mine isn't perfect lol, but it held my weight when I hung on it. I'll get a few pics give me a sec.
