I used to know how but lately I cant seem to get it.

Using standard Soldering pen (you know the black with the long copper 
tip). Ive always
tinned he braid.  Cut it with a tubing wheel and then strip and 
solder.  But for
some reason this stuff isnt sticking.  Using silver ceramic connectors.
Ive for almost all my 30 years been able to d a connector up right.
Now I cannot.

the Coax is RF Products 9913 double silver braid with foil under.

HELP

I have a Solder gun avail, but really hate to zap the coax braid and 
connector with that.
