Please let me know if the wiring is correct. [ATTACH]44665[/ATTACH] thanks in advance -Sanish.

I'm not too savvy/experienced with soldering. I want to splice the spark plug wire which goes to the coil on a small engine, to lengthen it using another piece of the same type wire. The following picture (shown below) shows what I'm working with and have on hand to use. Shows the coil, the other piece of wire, some solder I found, and two identical 23w soldering irons. My plan, after soldering, in regard insulating the splice in the wire (following a suggestion by someone else) is to use either silicone to make a very thick layer over the top, or to do a quicker method (allowing not having to wait for the silicone to cure) which is to use hotmelt glue which then allows the insulation to be completed and ready for use in less than five minutes. And I do happen to have a hotmelt glue gun. Here are my questions: 1. What might be a proper/neat way to splice the wires together? Maybe just strip the insulation on the other piece there the same as the already one stripped, then lay the bare wire on both parallel which eachother then heat up the wires together with the soldering iron then start touching/adding the solder to the wires joined together until it finally melts/flows and makes the soldered bond? 2. Seems like I never had much luck in the past using those soldering irons because they aren't very powerful at 23w. But maybe they'd be sufficient for this job. They haven't been taken care of properly, tips probably need to be cleaned or whatever. I guess you do that by heating them up and then wiping with steel wool? Any comments/advice for accomplishing this one-time project appreciated. [IMG]http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb153/sgull1/IMG_3350_zps8c69da6a.jpg[/IMG]
