Have you used acid flux like Stay Clean flux?  I had a darn time soldering
clevises to steel wire push rods.  No matter how hot I got the wire the
solder just couldn't stick.  The acid flux did the trick.  Good luck.

I'm using silver bearing solder 96%tin/ 4% silver to solder 3/64" steel wire
and a propane torch. The solder rolls off even after using flux. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Mickey
