Solder or Crimp O2

[Elliott Potter]

I've soldered mine with good results; I solder a 1" joint, put a piece
of heat shrink over each wire and then another piece of heat shrink with
heat activated glue over the whole bundle.  Then, for good measure I
wrapped the whole thing in spiral wrap tubing to help eliminate the
stress points at the ends of the solder joints, though it probably
wasn't necessary.

The key to soldering these wires is LOTS OF FLUX.  Just clean it off
when you're done, even if it says "no clean" (it isn't).
