Thanks Wayne. My previous "practices" though not numerous were frustratingly poor quality and they were nothing like this in difficulty. How about conductive epoxy solder? I went looking for some around town and did not find any, but I know it exists. Would that be a good alternative? Any drawbacks?

The proper wattage soldering iron, the right tip, and the proper gage solder is the first step. After that, practice good mechanics and watch for dirty or corroded parts. Cleaning them a bit can help. Enameled wire is very ornery. You have to fan the small strands out and lightly scrape them with a knife to remove the enamel. Finally, ......... practice is what it takes. Understanding heat transfer will become easier and make your soldering better. Don't give up. By the way, the smallest thing I ever soldered was a very fine wire in a hearing aid. I used a hot straight pin for the soldering iron. Never did figure the wattage on that one.
