         Once the wires are stripped, press them togeth-

         er, pinch them between your fingers and twist
         them.















         You can use a needle nose pliers to twist them
         tighter if you want to save some strain on your
         fingers.
















         Your wires should look like this after twisting
         them and before you solder them together.


















         Dip the twisted metal wire into your flux.  The
         purpose of flux is to reduce the surface tension
         between the solder and the metal enabling the
         melted solder to flow better and coat more
         evenly.
