Message	I've got the same one Mushy has, but digital - You can get different tips (small pointed, flat, etc). 2. Put on the heat shring tubing Get a kit with lots of different diameters and maybe colors 3. Make a good mechanical connection first Wrap head to toe, and use a pliers to flatten any wires that are sticking out 4. Heat entire length of wire, and allow solder to flow into the wire 5. Use the pliers again to flatten any wire that is sticking out -- while it is still warm. Clip strays, if necessary. 6. Pull heat shrink over wires and shrink it on.
