To keep solder from wicking along the braid, I just used an amount of solder that didn't allow it to travel too far. My iron is pretty hot (I set it ~750-800 deg.), but I hold it for more than 5 secs. sometimes.

I never did get any pics of the process, unfortunately. The first time I wasn't sure if it would work (didn't know if it would be worth it to document the process), and the second time I was under time pressure so I couldn't get pics/do a writeup. If anyone wants me to build a pack for them, I'd be glad to document the process at the same time :).
