Default Electrical solder

Okay, I think I have read all the links here for soldering clevises and am still having problems. I have been trying to solder my clevises on a Great Planes Pitts using 4-40 rods and supplies hardware. I have tried several different silver solders (the suggested type) and flux stuff and NONE seem to work! They never flow correctly and just glob up or drip right off! I have tried a soldering gun as well as a LP torch. I have gotten it really hot and not so hot. If I use standard Tin/Rosin core solder (standard electrical type) they look perfect every time. Question: Will the ‘electrical’ solder I used hold up? Has anyone else used it. I got $100 bucks in different solder, guns, and torches, PLEASE HELP
