[s-cars] Proper Solder Technique?

[Bill Mahoney]

Sorry to add a seemingly trivial question, but I have...uhmmm... been
working on my iPod install which has required a bit of soldering for an
in line amp I have chosen to add.  So, soldering is a skill I believe
could be real usefull.
As always I can hack my way through it, but what is the right way to do
it?
Whats a "good" soldering iron?
Whats proper electrical solder?
Whats a good way to hold the parts together while soldering?
What are the proper soldering techniques?
As usual, TIA!
BTW
iPod wiring is now undergoing some bench testing prior to full install,
and appears to work very well so far.  So far, as cool as advertised.
Cheers'
