Soldering two wires together
Soldering two wires together is similar to tinning a single wire.
First plug in and turn on your soldering iron.
Next you are going to need to strip off the out-
er casing to expose the metal wire inside. Line
up the wire stripper to the gauge of wire you
are stripping. You will want to strip off ap-
proximately ½ to ¾ of an inch.
Place the wire into the stripper, close the strip-
per, scoring the outer casing and pull the
scored casing away from the rest.
Once the casing has begun to pull away, you
can finish taking off the rest of the casing with
your fingers. Be careful not to crush your
wires as the stripper can snap back once you
release the handles. Do this with both of the
wires that you intend to solder together.
