I strip the wires back about 1/4", insert them lightly into the
blades and then solder them into place. With a very pointy soldering
tip at 800 degrees it works quite well. After they're soldered I
squeeze some GE Silicone onto the top and snap the cover on. I've
been making them this way for years with no problems.
Good Luck,
Richard.
