Hello Clare, since I brought it up, here we go.
Soldering is actually quite easy, you'll a soldering iron and some
solder with resin in it (all modern solder).
Let the iron heat up for a while until it's on on full strength (about
5 min. depending on the iron).
Now hold the iron on both parts you want to solder and the solder on
one of the parts in a way that it doesn't touch the iron.
Once the solder melts (flows) over the parts you can remove carefully
remove the iron. If you didn't disturb the connection while removing
the iron you'll have a nice shiny connection.
If the connection is very dull this means it moved a lot during
cooldown, though not necessarily bad, it's better to have a shiny
connection.
Just reheat the connection shortly to get a better connection, if
needed while applying a bit more solder.
Now this is a short how-to from an amateur, I'm sure that pro's like
Frank will have to as a few words, so I leave the stage to them.
