Ok I have a flux pen now. So just put a little flux onto the area to be soldered to and then seconds later solder?.... or is there not really a timing issue i.e. you don't need to be really quick after applying the flux?

My other question when soldering to a lug is do you solder the wire onto the edge of the eyelet or do you stick it through the middle and then solder so that a bond sort of 'fills in' between the wire and the eyelet?
