Hello,
One other comment about getting a good mechanical connection before appling the solder:
If you have a good close connection with plenty of surface area in contact between the wire and the pin or whatever, then you don't need silver (or magic) solder to fill the gaps to have a good electrical conection. If you wish a stronger than usual connection, then silver solder might help as it has a higher melting point, but really should not be needed for anything we hobbists are doing. IMHO.
