(93) To attach a lug, first remove the insulation from the wire end for a distance equal to the depth of the lug hole. (94) To do this, run your knife around the insulation cutting straight in, but not far enough to <u o ® © o ® Figure 28 touch the wire itself. If the blade edge touches the wire it will probably cut a shallow ring around it and the wire may later break easily at this point. Having removed the insulation, scrape the surface of the copper clean and apply good soldering acid or compound sparingly to both wire and lug. Next, using any convenient instrument, usually a blow torch, fill the lug hole with melted solder, having first cleaned the wire end and heated both the lug and wire end slightly. Then, holding the lug with a plyer, carefully insert the wire end into the solder and shove it down to the bottom of the hole.
