#1 sounds like the wrong solder. You need Rosin core solder for wires. I have solder so much stuff over the years I hate doing it any more but I was a Navy E.T.
#2 you need to tin the iron which means you melt some solder on tip so that will help heat transfer faster.
#3 clamp a heat sink on the wire just behind where your going to solder . A set of hemostats work well for that. BTDT to many times

Old if you have done that much soldering you must have heard of using salamonac (sp) to clean soldering irons . by the way shouldn't that be soldering coppers and not irons.
