Hi - I hope someone can give me a clue on this, I've coiled the ends of twentyfive 3 foot pieces of 3/16 inch 303 stainless steel rods to fit on a 3/4 inch copper tube. I'm trying to solder the coiled SS to the copper and have had very minimal sucess with getting the solder to stick to the SS. I've tried acid core solder and Harris stay brite silver solder using a propane torch for heat. Would I be better off trying a big soldering iron instead of the propane? Any tips will be much appreciated, I've got quite a bit of time in this project and have to get over this hurdle. Thanks for any help, Ed
