If I can find something to coat the ring pull, so the solder
won't wet it, I think there's a decent chance of success.

There's a commercial product, Tix Anti-Flux, that should work.
That in concept is exactly what I'm looking for. Trouble is, they
say it's best with SO250 solder, which appears to be low melting
point and has no strength or other specification. Since the original
brass broke, I think silver braze will be necessary but I'll email
them and learn what I can.

Me, I just stay sloppy, and buff the excess off afterward.

Can't do that in my predicament; if the solder flows between
ring pull and plate there's no way to get it out.

Heat it up and shoot compressed air into the joint. Solder comes right
out. It however will retain a molecules thick layer of
solder.."staining" the metal.


Thanks very much for posting!
