As far as soldering. I guess for larger cables I need to use a propane
torch. Is that right?

Or O/A. The trap here is that as you try to solder the joint,
the solder simply wicks up the stranded wire and leaves you with
a dry joint and effectively solid wire.

The trick is to mechanically compress the sranded wire so capillary
action cannot wick the solder up the line.

For smaller stuff I use a stainless hemostat.
