I have a ton of solid wire and I usually prefer working with stranded only because of the flexibility. I'm trying to wrap up some of the wiring on the 813 rig. I have tons of solid #12 and #14 wire but no stranded in those 2 wire sizes. .....
A couple of problems come to mind. First, if you really nick the wire hard during stripping it can break off at that point during stressing it later on. Second, I have this nice UTC CVM-4 that got a terminal broken off because someone
had to use really stiff solid wire on the terminals. During removing it out of its previous home, one terminal got broken off (rather the Bakelite that supports it got broken) and now I have a repair job. Your best bet is to use the correct wire for the job so it doesn't come back later and bite you.
