@Aem7s4lyfe posted:Thank you all for your suggestions. I definitely do not have the right soldering iron. I will start there and practice on some scrap pieces.
Also, make sure you are using the right kind of solder for the job and that, if soldering wire to something, that the wire is pre-tinned. Nothing worse than having to wait for the solder to start melting and overheating what you are working on. For soldering wire to track, like in Rich's photo, it should take no more than a few seconds, at most.
