All I have is a propane tourch. I don't think it will get the block hot enough. I will experiemnt with some scrap. Can Aluminum be soldered like that? One would think I would know this being a certified welder. I just havn't messed with Copper and Aluminum soldering before.

Yes Al can be soldered like this.
No it's not a dollar of solder, that's a massive amount of solder - thin layer means less just that, not chunks of solder on it. For one thing unless your surfaces are very uneven it'll all get squeezed out and it's hard to get much solder to stay on a surface any - it's very runny when hot.
That or you buy very expensive solder. Try buying it in a big reel.
