You can get plenty of heat from a propane torch, depending on the solder you use. Just use plumbers solder. No big deal, the picture of the waterblock in my avatar is homemade by me and has a soldered top.

I did it this way
1. Put flux on both pieces
2. Clamp em together
3. heat
4. Put solder on the edges and it will flow everywhere you have flux.

It should be a fairly straightforeward operation. Just dont flux the middle.
