Here is an example of the solder paste I have been talking about for use - Solder-It Plumbers' Solder (CSP-41). Look at it here. Several companies make similiar solder pastes, although the silver brazing paste is much more common.

I actually have some of that solder paste. I bought it at Home Depot. I couldn't get it to work. It was a lot easier to just use regular solder. That stuff makes nasty fumes and stuff aswell. They say all you need is a lighter, but I couldn't get it to work with a tourch. It would kinda stick but it would break apart to easy. I couldn't even get it ot work on a the pennys which are simple to solder regularly. Maybe I was aplying to much heat.
