This has some redeeming value, but on another bulletin board, the topic of using nichrome wire came up being used as a meter shunt. someone chimed in that you can't solder to nichrome wire. Another stated that you had to add enough solder to the joint to make it mechanically stable. I was under the impression that you had to use allot of heat, (like one of those large soldering irons you see in the bargain boxes below the flea market tables), due to the heat wicking properties of the wire. Am I correct in that assumption or only half correct?
