Hello!
I didn't have any Tefzel stranded 10awg for the ground wire for about a 3' run
from my panel ground to my firwall ground. The little bit of soldering I've done
so far has been sorta fun, so I figured I'd use a piece of solid 10awg wire
I had laying around (non-Tefzel). Into a noninsulated 8awg ring, I put this solid
wire in plus a tiny piece of 12awg stranded wire to bulk up the space. Crimped
it down good in a couple places, then soldered. Although the thicker wires
took a bit longer to heat up, it eventually got there.
I figure if it's a ground wire, it won't heat up and be a primary source of fire,
poisoning me with the plastic coating. The other concern I have is the solid
wire. I know it's susceptible to cracking if it's bent back and forth a few
times in a tight radius. That's not the case here, as I'm using maybe 1" radius
corners. Would this be okay to use just for the ground wire with no tight bends?
