Won't the solder just melt when you power the thing up?

Hi...

Nope, it's self-protecting

Where there is heat that would melt the solder, there's
no solder.

And where there is solder that would be melted, there's
(virtually) no (resistance) heating.

Interesting, I would have thought there'd be enough thermal conduction to
melt it, I'll give it a shot if I ever have one break. Seems like brazing
might be more reliable though.
