Thank you group for the PL259 plug soldering lessons. There were many suggestions for me to chew on.
One of the methods uses a torch idea. It turns out I have the correct torch but I was using the Weller butane soldering iron as a torch, different amount of heat. I have an old Weller electric that I can try the "connector is the tip" method. >From the discussion, my RG59 must be the cheap stuff as the braid seems wimpy compared to the RG8X I have, where I successfully soldered the RG8X plug. The crimp idea makes sense.
