I solder every two sections of flex track on the work bench (including feeders). I also use small 'alligator' clips fastened on either side of where the solder is applied, to act as heat sinks, and avoid damaging plastic ties.
I'm building an N scale layout using Peco code 55 flex track and it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to join track using the rail joiners. I have had enough of skinned fingers and bent joiners trying to do the job, so my solution will be to solder the rails without any joiners. I also use a pen style flex pen - no messy flux paste - good to go. 👍
Can't believe that you actually produced a tutorial with a filthy tip on your soldering iron, no wonder it took ages to tin. Didn't even wipe it on a wet sponge in push into a metal brass coil. Not really the way to learn how to solder . . . more how not to solder.
Sad to think you can't cognitively find a better way to be critical. You should be ashamed of yourself. Hope you've become more decent since your lame comment.
