After the mess I made with my last attempt at soldering I would greatly appreciate learning the correct way to do things....but I may be beyond help.

It did occur to me that the silver solder might have something to do with it. My soldering iron doesn't have temperature control either!

sold on eBay, thanks

Thanks for all the above advice. Soldering is definitely a skill I'd like to acquire, but maybe for a time when I'm not so time-poor.

I'll take the 2m pair, thanks.

Bill has very kindly offered to try to fix these for me 👍

I tried making some a few years ago - it was with much thinner gauge cable and the results were passable. I'm not sure if I had so much difficulty because the cables are thicker, shorter, or because I used silver solder. I invested in a solder station which helped, but I still managed to burn myself a couple of times. Over it! If I can't get these fixed then I'll just buy some made-to-order (one pair is pseudo balanced).

Would anyone be able to help me fix a bad situation? I bought an RCA cable with the intention of making two made to measure cables from it - one with RCA and the other with RCA+XLR. It was a total disaster - I got solder on the thread of the XLR plug making it useless (amongst other issues). So, I need someone to solder a pair of RCA plugs on one pair, and a solder pair of XLR plugs on the other. I've also rendered the new XLR and RCA plugs useless. My soldering is utter crap....even after watching several youtube videos. To make things worse the cable is really thick and difficult to work with. Any offers to help out would be greatly appreciated....I will of course pay for postage, parts, labour, etc!
