nice little trick, good job!

Most of the time, that's the way I get my wire soldering done. No, it doesn't take forever, but it probably does help that I have a little more wattage in my gun than part of 35.Who heats the wire till it melts the solder? wouldn't that take forever?
Wouldn't think of doing that any other way.when sodlering multiple wires that are going to be wrapped together I stagger the lengths of wire so the solder points dont lay next to each other.

Out of curiosity, which boat were you on? Back in the day, I was on the Newport News Shipyard engineering team that did the parts of the 688's outside the RC. Still remember a few of the more unusual tasks.

If you don't have the time to do it right for whatever reason then put it off another day. Quality is a dieing breed. If I go to buy a car and I see one shortcut then I go ahead and assume every mod has been done the same.
There's a reason you are soldering in the first place as opposed to using butt connectors, etc.
Better to be safe than sorry. Peace.
I was on a 688i boat USS BOISE from 03 to 09. We were in norfolk naval shipyard in portsmouth back in 03/04.
