Re: Question about upgrading to 2 gauge wires
Hmmm, 20 bucks for a set of 2 ga. cables AND ends. I'd figure on paying that much for just for the ends. Great deal.

Re: Question about upgrading to 2 gauge wires
Naw, the ends here were only $.80 at the Handyman Hardware, the wire cost the most, I had the brass bolt with brass washers and the nuts.........
Scottyb has a nice set, and his bolt thru is top notch, I helped someone install a set from him, and that is why I made my own, I am a Cheap **** |

Re: Question about upgrading to 2 gauge wires
sorry for any hijack but...what would be the best way to clean or neutralize acid flux? I got plenty of welding cable, gonna make my own too. Was gonna buy the electrical solder pellets to do it though..just curious if there is a "Cheaper" but also effective/proper way.

Re: Question about upgrading to 2 gauge wires
I just use the Rosen Solder Flux, since it can be left on the wires without damaging them in any way
Acid Solder Flux can be neutralized with Baking Soda and use a wire brush to remove the most of it prior to neutralizing it, and scrub it with the wire brush and baking soda water until it no longer foams, then it should be clean and acid free |

Re: Question about upgrading to 2 gauge wires
While acid based fluxes are highly active, they are also hygroscopic. This means that any flux remaining after the soldering operation will acquire moisture from the atmosphere. Left intact, excess acid flux can cause moisture to accumulate to the extent that it will actually flow and puddle. Since acid fluxes usually remain active after the soldering process, removing the residue is indicated to keep the residue from continuing to eat away at the part.
Acid based fluxes are usually water soluble, which allows for easy removal with little more than warm water and a mild detergent. http://www.cranesolder.com/faq.htm#rosinoracid |
