Henk,
I've done this before...and it doesn't work warth a d**m without flux. You do
it without flux and get it together, chances are it won't stay together
long...a slight bump and you have two pieces again. Never had one come apart
when I used flux, though. Makes a big difference . I've done everything from
soldering tie tack pins to hooks, to soldering relative large hooks to
spoon bodies...
I don't do too much of this anymore (seems I'm nearly too busy to sleep the
past couple of weeks...looking forward to giving my last final Monday.)

I don't know all the reasons for using flux. I know that most fluxes
clean the surface of the
metal(s) of grease and other contaminates and any oxidation present.
I have soldered various metals for 30+ years. It has been
my experience that the correct flux for the solder and the metals you
are using can be the difference
between a nice well-flowed, solid joint and pieces that just fall apart
even though enough heat was applied.

Do you think that for this type of application, a flux is necessary?
There's no real capillary contacts.
