Am making flowers. Used aluminum mesh and galvanized screws and nuts and
want to put to a rod of galvanized steel. Can I solder. I have used a
glue or have just used wire to hold in place. Am elderly and do not have
access to welding, so thought of soldering, these are decorative and are
put in pots outdoors. Oldnverygrey..

In the 1980's Eutectic-Castolin sold solders for aluminum. Their website
is at http://www.castolin.com/, a very quick look revealed no aluminum
joining alloys. Still, a phone call to one of their distributors might
prove enlightening.

Hope this helps,
