Do you have an iron with a temp readout? It would be nice to know your temp. Also if you do overheat the wire coating just add some heat shrink to reinforce it.

I mentioned, in my post, that I have a Metcal. It's model ps-900. No readout but works great.
Sorry, I missed that. I would want to be around 800 degrees to quickly solder without heating the insulation which in my experience happens with too low a temp over too much time.

Thanks for the reply. I agree about the "to low heat". My problem was happening with an old Velleman and it took along time for things to get hot enough.
I've soldered wires to small lugs with the Metcal and it only takes a few seconds. I will be trying the Metcal on the massive Cardas posts soon.
