I gently scrape the insulating coating away with an Exacto knife before soldering. Then, for the type of connection you made, would solder with a 25w or 40w iron and a fine diamenter 60/40 rosin core solder.
The insulation on your wires must have disolved as your connections look fine. Nice and shiny.
Be sure to provide some strain relief when you reassemble.
