Yeah, the metal is freashly machined and then I go over it with a stainless steel wire brush. I still cannot get a whole block to solder. I got like a CM with solder stuck on it bt that is it. I wasted about a half roll of solder trying to get it to stick.

I heat the metal up and then the metal melts the solder, but it dosn't stick. If I roll the heat back over it it just balls up. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

i got a nice flat layer on once but it just peels off.
