Now place the solder on the other side of the wire and it will melt and flow to the wire. Works the same way as sweating copper pipes.

Rosin core solder or flux will not work. Bert You need to clean it to bright bare copper, then tin it with acid-core solder or use acid flux. Rosin core solder or flux will not work.

Not only would it look tacky, it's too soft and won't last long...There's no stress on PC boards...Might want to take them back to the store you bought them and ask them about it. Sears is often good when it comes to returning things. Sorry,that won’t work.
