Now that's something I've never heard of -- what's a "Western
Union" joint? Some kind of wire splice?
Learning to solder properly is not difficult. I was
given a soldering
iron and Radio Shack P-Box kits to build as a young child, when I was
in elementary school.
I must have had my first soldering iron at the age of 11 or
thereabouts. But my first kits were Philips non-soldering
breadboards.
