It may, but enough to hold would be bulky, and it
may not stand the test of time like solder would.

Don,
Is an epoxy not strong enough?

You might as well send the dozen. If I can get one done........
If not I'll just return them to you.

Gary,
You
are correct. The chrome doesn't do well with holding the solder. I
have
one of those little 'no-heat' guns (my son's) and it's just not
working. I figured dremmeling the 1st 32nd of an inch to give the
solder
something to grasp. The hook is also gold plated, but it doesn't
seem t
have a problem holding the solder.
You want to try just
one 1st to see how it goes?
