I had to figure a lot of this out the hard way, so I'm sure this video will help people. Using the other half of the connector as a heating is pretty critical to avoiding issues with melting the connector. Great stuff as always!
This was a great video! 🤦🏼♂️ so many times I have forgotten the heat shrink .. I will try this tip next time. I have melted those connectors before, also, they seem quite sensitive to excess heat - I will also try that tip next time. Very good tips, thank you
WOW !! These three tips are fantastic !!! I have had to try to cope with these problems many times. I wish I had seen this video first! Another problem I've had is a somewhat short wire where even if I remember to put the tubing on the wire first, the heat in the very conductive copper wire causes the tubing to shrink prematurely; "premature shrinkage". But I think if I were to expand the tubing first as you showed, it would be far enough away from the wire not to shrink prematurely. So I only wish I had seen this video, like 5 or 8 years ago as it would have saved me a lot of headaches !! PS... how's the freezer situation going?
Great idea on the short wires, too, John. Stretching the tubing will definitely prevent "premature shrinkage" The fridge is doing fantastic. I just got a pure sine inverter and I plan to use it on that fridge. Coming up soon.
Thanks for that useful tip wish you had time to make more videos always very informative and useful have a fantastic Xmas and a very happy new year to you and your family

Great tips, Thanks for sharing your expertise.
you are an amazing teacher!
Superb!
MUCH APPRECIATED ADVICE!! THANKS
You are such a pro man. Thanks.
great tips! but it still smells like chicken at my soldering bench. 🍗😂
Perfect tips!
I like your video's so I just subscribed . . thank you for the content.
Omg i do this every dang time so annoying
Nice!
May I ask which soldering iron you are using? Mine is not hot enough to solder 10 gauge wires unfortunately
I have a Weller WES51 model. I believe it's 60 Watts. The big soldering tip also helps transfer the heat more efficiently.
Genious!
Awesome
thanks
What kind of flux are you using and where to purchase? Thanks
My flux is home made from pine resins. It's organic and it's free. Maybe I should talk about it in a separate video.
@@vuaeco well for sure thanks, lots of pine cones around the house
actually useful tips? no filler? that's got to be against youtube terms of service.
