Crimp connections
For those of you that make your own cables do you use anything on the wire before you crimp?

Before I crimped my 0004 welding cable copper lugs, I inserted a small coil of silver solder in each lug...After crimping I then heated the lugs with a torch, my goal was to have as low connector resistance as practical.. FWIW, silver is a better cinductor than gold...

Problem with soldering lugs is that it can make the soldered joint brittle. With coach vibration, the wiring can break. That is the reason you don't find soldered connections in aircraft wiring.
