[SML] Wire junction

[sdwheaton]

All it really needs is a good coating of borax flux.  Once you energise it the joint will get hot and melt & fuse together.  Once fused, the joint will have a larger cross section than any other part of the wire and will run slightly cooler.  At least that's what you do to fix kilns and clothes dryer elements.

The junction quality willvary inversely with with the need, the more you draw the looser the tiesget so the less it gives you.  Being free range the junction can releaseoffensive odors away from neighbors while being free to join up with anyneighbors of the appropriate polarity that are willing to enter into aunion.Warning, wire unions are often pretty wild.  When the sparks startflying, nearby conductors should be insulated from the fallout.On 1/18/20 10:43 AM, Richard Niederberg via Stagecraft wrote:> Shouldn't you put a shrink tubing sleeve over the whole joint? <g> By> what factor, if any, has the current carrying capacity been> diminished?
