Are you trying to strip the insulator of the wire? What I do is I use scissor then I just feel it and carefully cut it to the half and pull the strip. :blush:

thank you, it indeed did work for me that way.

You can contact the company for assistance.

Oh no! Maybe try a crimping tool? I hope you’ll be able to figure it out before you run out of wire. Time to call on hubby to help :grin:

What I tend to do is gently using a scalpel and try to get one side out first. The scalpel is thin so it won’t be too hard. I never have any issues doing it that way. I cut one piece at a time and go around the wire

Good luck. I look forward to your next progress update!

Oh nooo, I feel you :sob: wiring can be so frustrating sometimes!

I actually really enjoy doing the wiring, but it definitely takes a bit of practice. I’ll share a post where I explain what I use, it might help you: 👍 [Quality Post] Spring Sakura Banquet Build Diary – Day 1 Progress 🌸

Also, if you have one, using a wire stripper can make things much easier and avoid cutting the wire by accident!

Yes! Walk away even if just an hour. Do not let the frustration build!
If you have acrylic marker, try later to get that and touch up.
For wires, I actually kind of pinch with my finger or fingernail and that usually does it. I also, once done, have been cutting off the excess wire leaving enough to maneuver the battery box. I keep that extra wire! Then if I have a mistake, I can fix!
Hoping this helps!

I feel you with stripping the wires in the older kits! :sob: They drive me nuts! I started using a wire stripper and while it’s still tricky because the wires are so thin I found my success rate to be much higher with them. :see_no_evil_monkey: Or you can use your finger nails if you keep them long.

I tried that too. The wire is way too thin. I agree, I believe it takes a lot of practice. :downcast_face_with_sweat: .
The only solution for me now is to wait for my husband to do it. The biggest question is when will he be able to.. ahahaha

Yes. I agree. I will try but Im not confident about my skills.

Momsh, it is too thin. I tried everything. Naubos na yung wires.. wahahahaha

Thanks for the suggestion. I still have one more lifeline - my husband! ahaha! But the problem is when will he be available to do it.. :rofl:

That is my only way now. But I can imagine him scolding me because the wires are now too short.. ahahaha! Bahala na nga! :sweat_smile: :rofl:

oh a scalpel! I have never tried that.. Thanks for the suggestion!

Im actually done with the other details except for this. I just came from my vacation. Perhaps a break is all I need. I will try again later today. :rofl:

Ohhh…I hope he can help you soon so that you can proceed with your kit.

The wires in your post is thicker than mine. The wires that I have is way too thin.

Thanks for the suggestion. I came from a 5-day vacation so I am hoping I can do it again today. I’m done with everything except for this. If not, I just need to wait for my husband. :sweat_smile:
