<content:encoded><![CDATA[Anyone here skilled at electrical soldering or know someone who is? I just need to solder a few wires together, nothing complicated. 

For some reason, I cannot solder a good joint here. Back in the US I soldered a fair number of things on my own and had no problem. But here the solder just clumps to the wires in big globs rather than making a nice smooth joint. Is it just crappy solder? Tried buying some better stuff on taobao but no luck.]]></content:encoded>
