Get some old school leaded solder. New lead free solder is horrible to use, and requires a super hot iron, or give up. It's a pig to work with with my 480degC solder station, but leaded solder is perfect at 300degC.
Search ebay for "lead solder -free" and you'll find lots. 60/40 tin/lead flux core solder.
Flux paste is also a must for cleanign your iron tip and helping to tin the wires and contacts. remove residue with motor spray afterwards.
you can get good flux paste (LA-CO) from a plumbers merchants.
