Just came across this on a caravan blog site, describing setting up a mains supply set up in a caravan. Good grief….
Does/did the insulation of the cable survive such a procedure?I used to use an oxy-acetylene torch to make up the main battery cables when I was "on the spanners".
Spot-on Conny!Wet rag around the end of the cable, fierce flame on the oxy-acetylene to heat the lug quickly, sweat the solder in, take the rag off and quickly blow the tip of the lug with compressed air to cool it, making sure you don't blow the solder out. The wet rag keeps the insulation 'cool' and residual heat, whilst cooling the lug down, helps to evaporate any which remains.
I can't work out how to delete this post.
