    IC2, I have an electrical soldering "gun" but when I try to solder wires there is not enough heat, probably due to the length of the wire. I also have a smaller electrical iron that I used for circuit boards in my lab but it is intended to be low heat for protection of solid state chips so it is certainly not hot enough. I am surprised that the soldering gun will not solder the wires. What are you using? I bought a second heater for the garage, but this morning it was 26 F in the garage and even with two radiative heaters I decided to do some other clerical work today rather than plug on with my one-wire-per-day plan. Although there was the first frost of the winter this morning I hope to put on both heaters tomorrow and maybe in an hour or two I can get get some work done on the wiring.
