I did electric reptair fer most of my life,usinga soldering iron is second nature..... ne way melting the plastic was the fastest and easiest way fer me..... also using enough flux paste shure makes life easier(flux helps the solder flow, to much stuff wont stick, not enough it just clumps up and doesnt flowdown through the wire just blobs on top)
