What's the secret to getting a neat looking connection when attaching stranded wire to screw terminals?
I find that connecting stranded wire to screw terminals (like those on a lamp socket shown at http://www.lamppartsrepair.com/p/com...pair-tips.html) tends to flatten the bare wire and leave hairs of it sticking out. Should I twist the wire tightly and tin the end of it with solder? The wires shown on that webpage appear to have a tinned ends.
