/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1659970
One of my problems was that the incredibly thin wire tended to break when doing that (or hitting it with sandpaper). I did it again now and stopped after a handful of strokes with much of the coating remaining. Threw a shit ton of flux on it and got about 3 places over an half inch strand where it wet the copper. Looks like shit and is brittle but it seems (and sounds, after testing it) like I have a good connection now. Just need to jerry rig something to stabilize it now because it looks like it'll break if you cough at it.
