If you're using standard solder (rosen core) it won't work.
It won't??
Maybe you don't recommend it, but I've been using the same rosen core solder on my joints for as long as I've been flying. Used that same technique to solder the rods on my 4*60, flew it for over 2 yrs.
I have a torch, but I save that for sweating pipes in the house. Never used it on any plane, soldering iron gets plenty hot for soldering wires and rods. I do admit, the little iron I have is too small for battery packs; but then I do those.
My .02... do I get any change back?
Warning... the preceding is not meant to be little, degrade or annoy anyone. My thoughts, I got plenty; my wife says too many so I have to share.
