I prefer to pre-tin the crystal cans before installing the crystals. That way I can concentrate on doing one thing at a time. Like Don, I use about an 800F iron with a flat tip. Once there's a thin area of solder on the can where I'll want to put the ground wire, it's much easier and faster to solder the wires concentrating on getting the wires positioned and avoiding touching things with the iron that I don't want melted <G>.
(Sure I can multitask! I can screw up any number of things at once!)
