MODERATORS
I think this wire is a bit difficult to solder because it's very thick, with a normal soldering iron it might pull away too much heat for the two wires to get to temperature
It's normal for the wire to get hot while soldering though, and it's fine to an extent. Just don't hold them with your hands :)
I'll add more heat next time
You see the upper left portion of the black wires' solder connection where the solder has flowed into the wire and it looks like matted down hair? That's how it all should look. More heat will definitely help.
I'm hoping that it's what it looks like internally. Also I can't pull apart the soldered joint
