Mixer Inserts, what the wiring??



Hi, quick one... I want to connect my mini mixer up to my main mixer, where something plugged into the main mixer chanel one will also be at chanel one on the mini mixer. Now My main mixer has inserts, can I use them? Not having used them before, (except in big expensive studios where the engineer did it for me) i dont quite get the special cable that it requires. If am to just plug in a short jack to jack cable from the insert socket of the main mixer to the input on the mini mixer, it cuts the sound from the main mixer. This is of course cos its meant for "INSERTING" a compressor for example... this is a damn nuisance, as I have hndreds of spare short jack to jack cables... BUT Can it be done? by using stereo jacks wired funny?? or maybe is it just to replace one jack  on a standard mono jack cable to be a stereo jack where the 2 hot contackt are bridged?? how do I do this?
