- I will get back to this later, but the real problem with solder is 99% of the people that do it use way too much. I have used some in selected connections in the past and it worked ok for that case.

- Solder wicks its way up the wire between the copper strands and this makes it rigid. If the wire isn't fully supported, vibration will cause it to break at the point where the wire goes from being f
