Thank you for the much needed tips ; I think I will add a length of wire 
between the 2 ends as it was already too much a tight fit (making 4 solders 
in all), and that would help if I ever need to clean the blades again. For 
insulation, I'd rather avoid tape, and use a greater wire gauge insultation 
piece as a "tube" to cover the soldering point. Seen it done before, and I 
found it elegant, but moreover, it will help the wires pass again through the 
slim hole between the lens and the body. A light touch of weak glue to hold 
everything in place, and that should do it.

Mission 1 : finding a soldering iron.

I still can't believe how stupidly I messed it myself ! I was looking for a 
pen for so long, and the very day I get it, I nearly destroy it. Talk about 
clumsy.
