I've been experiencincing difficulties soldering my lead-out lines ( .024/95# test).
I usually wrap with fine copper wire to sieze the lead-out line nd solder.
The problem I'm experiencing is the solder is not taking to the steel wire .
I'm using a Weller 100/140 watt pistol type soldering iron , with Kester flux and 60/40 rosin core solder .
Should I use a mini torch , for more heat ?
The lead-out wire i the kind supplied in the Brodak kits .
I've never had this problem before , until I started using this type of wire .
Is swaging (using crimp tubes) a better way of tying the lead-outs ?
I don't want to remove the tensility of the lead-outs by applying too much heat .
Any other sure fire ways of tying lead-outs ?
