Either the rods are stainless and you have to really beat on them, or
you're not using enough heat. (Well, ok, not beat on them, but use
different flux or something. I have bad luck soldering to stainless, but
no less a source than Mark Drela tells me it can be done. Kind of
reminds me of the people who can bend balsa on 1/2" radius for EZB
wingtips. I'm not one of them. Another thought that occurs to me is that
if your marmalade also tasted funny you might want to check for an
accidental swap.) What kind of super duper flux were all you guys
talking about? I suppose I could just get that Sta Brite stuff...

I'm working on a new plane that has.080 steel push rods and they don't seem
to solder well. I have sanded them, fluxed them and all the solder does is
bead up. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.
