Thank you for the quick answer and advice

what niall said, multicore is also easier to solder
on that note, when your soldering, before you insulate the wire up again, be sure to clean the flux residue from your solder joint as flux will corrode solder weakening the joint, eventually it will break again if you don't.
nailvarnish remover and a cotton bud is ideal way to remove flux

Thanks for the tip mate ill do that
Is it just on the bit I solder or the surrounding area ?
