there are a few things to successful soldering or as the yanks like to call it soddering.
clean bare wire with no corrosion. a HOT iron that is well tinned. decent thin cored solder. blu-tack.
use the blu-tack to hold the wire in place. put blu-tack on surface and press the wire into it near the part you want to solder. if your joining two wires then use two opposing bits of blu-tack. this leaves your hands free to hold the iron and solder.
