Number 1 Tin the wires. Use flux That's probably why you are having so many problems,the flux will melt and wick throughout the wire and allow the solder to flow evenly. Flux is what floats the contaminats away from the metal and keeps O2 from getting to the work. That's why it's used in all forms (be it sheilding gas or flux) of welding (except Spot). As far as using rubbing alcohol, maybe for cleaning off the flux after you are finished. Also use a quality solder like Multicore or Kester, And make sure you are not using lead free unless you know what you are doing it solders quite a bit different. Use a damp sponge to clean your tip.
