The stripped ends need to be long enough that you can twist and they lock together. That way the connection has some mechanical integrity. Then solder them. I use a mini-butane torch for 14 gauge and up. Heavy wires will suck all the heat right out of a lightweight soldering iron tip. The tip must have more mass than what you're soldering.
I use rosin-core electronic solder for everything, the kind you can buy on spools from Radio Shack or any electronics supplier. | | |
