Re: plating holes with an exploding wire

Low ESR is part of the equation. I could suggest some of their very low ESR 50V caps, but they are similar in price. Just a bit safer regarding accidental contact.

I have some 2V lead acid cells here that will melt and burn a bit of solder wick applied across them in seconds. Don't ask how I know. So a few more volts at many more amps should have a much more violent effect on a thin copper wire.
