Re: 1968 Holiday Restoration w/pics
WOW, I did not know this was one of those touchy subjects. Im glad im finding out. So I googled "crimping vs soldering" and theres is quite some controversy over this. It baffles me that there is one side that says to crimp and the other that says to solder. Me, im just learning. but its great to see all this great knowledge. But i feel like in a buffet, i dont know what what to get because it all tastes good or this case it makes sense. On one side u have the solders that say that there is less resistance, stronger hold but it does stiffen that connection therefore causing a stress point, so u tie the cable or wire so it wont vibrate vs leaving it loose to vibrate. On the other team u have the crimpers that say crimping is the best cause it does not stiffen, and also last longer, hence why u have Nasa, aero, and automotive and some medical applying this method. The solders reply is that its faster to crimp than to solder and in a commercial enviorment u need fast to make money. Wow. Going back to the buffet, what i usually do when i cant make a decision is to eat everything. So does it make sense for me to be on both teams and crimp, solder, liquid tape and then shrink tube?!?!? :redface:
