Does it matter if the can gets hot before puting the solder on the can or do you just put the solder on like you would just anything?

It takes a good soldering iron, and a little patience. I just heat the can where I want the cap soldered, and put a blob of solder there. I then tin the lead of the cap. Then I heat the blob up, and put the tinned wire into it while it is melted. Let it cool, and you are sorted.
