Crimp then solder.timsmcm said:when you solder and crimp do you crimp the lug first then solder or the other way around and which solder do you use? Is standard lead tin solder with rosin core ok like the stuff you get at radio shack? And also can you use a butane torch to do the sweating? I have sweat lots of copper plumbing but no electrical. I have soldered lots of electrical with an Iron though, but dont think my iron will get hot enough for big lugs
