hi man,
your write up is awesome. thanks for the help. it would have been a bit of a pain to wait until april as i had thought i needed to do.
so can i ask you about re-soldering while the screens are off?
can i simply melt the solder and let it melt and then let it re-harden? can i just leave well enough alone? or do i need to get in and re-solder?
also, can i please ask you about "aluminum specific solder" and flux? i guess this is necessary since the /wires/ are aluminum so you need to go with aluminum wire as opposed to what i would use with motorcycle wiring of copper wires?
THANK YOU
jon

So the big issue with soldering aluminum is the quick oxidation of the metal. I was replacing all the wires on my build so I didn't want to chance it. To much heat and you start melting components around what you are trying to solder.
I would call the folks at Kapp and see what they have, I don't remember specfically what I used or if their product lineup has changed. It wasn't expensive at all and it made soldering really easy.
Copper wires have a lot more mass than aluminum. I would stay away and stick with aluminum.
ok. so if mine look attached there is no reason to resolver?
or at one point i thought i saw a recommendation to /melt/ the existing solder and just let it set up again (for some reason i don't remember...).
