Default How to: "welding"

I have been trying to weld pushrods as well as pull pull conections without any luck. I am doing something wrong. I just don not know what.
I have the Hobbico welding iron, also a silver solder kit called Stay brite that has a coil of soft metal (soldering wire) and a little bottle called Stay Clean Flux. I have followed the instructions: heat up the parts to weld with the tip of the gun, hold the pieces to weld together, and then make contact with the soldering wire. The wire melts quickly and does not stay on. When it does, a minor pull to the connection breaks it. I have done it by cleaning the pieces with the supplied liquid and without it, and still same results.
Do I have what I need?
What do I do with it?
Any step by step explanation will be greatly apreciated.
