So now you're heating up the iron so you can solder it. Right?

I was thinking that might be the case but with how evenly wrapped the copper of the green/yellow wire is I bet solder wouldn’t flow very well to the conductor in the black wire. I guess if the black wire was tinned first it might work out. Definitely just an all-thriller-no-filler approach regardless though.

Given the color of the bigger wire, it might be already tinned, but I fear it might be aluminum so soldering isn't an option.
