I require aid from the solder king!

Dawgz Rule:
Knave beat me to the punch but I will reinforce what he said.....tin the leads and you will find it easier.  Agreed on all of the above too.

I use a $15 Radio Shack grounded soldering iron.  15 Watt I think.  It's more technique & proper solder (lead) than anything else.

Me too, it's a huge improvement from the super cheap one I tried at first. Cough...HF...cough...

I got my iron from HF!!!  :lol It was only 4 bucks. So wait a minute, isnt lead toxic? Is it safe to breathe in the fumes when you burn it? The one I have, like DR mentioned, doesnt stick to anything. Im just soldering LED wires together. Any suggestions on how to solder the wires to the batteries?
