After drying the Nail Plolish with heat gun, it was sealed with a piece of adhesive lined heat shrink.
This terminal is now flight ready.

Hmm, Alan has some hidden talent using Nail Polish!
Eric recommends using nail polish as well. This CCA does'nt have any plating and should help keep from oxidising.

Alan did a nice job of cleaning off the flux using a cut short acid brush and some flux remover.
Here he is flashing off the flux remover.

Eric Jones recommends to solder as well. I used a 300 watt iron and 2% silver solder with a low melting point and some mild activated flux.
I tried to only solder the tip and not allow any solder to wick beyond the terminal.
Even though solder has a much higher resistance than copper, after crimping by applying solder it can lower overall resistance. This is especial true if crimp is not perfect.

Nice crimp, but I can do better.

I used a borrowed crimper that has square dies using number 6 setting.

This #4 CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) wire from Eric Jones (Perihelion) is thicker than #4 Tefzel copper wire. Thus I bored out this #4 terminal for a snug fit. The remaining thickness of material after boring is similar to other terminals. This terminal was purchased from Wicks and was thicker than many others. I think it may be an AMP connector.

Then cover with a third piece of adhesive lined heat shrink.
This three ply cover is for a critical spot in the Starboard headrest where ground is close by (this wire is positive).

Then cover with a second piece of heat shrink.
