I am trying to solder some RG-6 shield to a pcb. The braid won't tin. It's

a temp-controlled iron (set as high as 700F) and a mondo 100W stick I
finally tried. The solder will barely melt when touched to the braid
opposite the iron.
That just sounds like another excuse to the use the butane torch 
Steel, ment to be clamped not soldered?
