I'm planning my copper block/ aluminum heatspreader plan I posted about before. What I want to know is how bets to join the block and spreader. It needs to be strong enough to support the copper block and the tension exterted on the barbs by the tube.

I'm thinking plumbers solder like I use on copper pipes, but I'm not so sure how well it will work with two different metals. Any advice is welcome.
