    I solder 16g 1/2 round using quick heat directed alongside the joint
    rather than directly on the metal. The half round is 14/20 Kt G/F and
    I place a snippet of 14KY gold medium solder just under the joint.
    You might need to experiment to determine the right size of 
    flame, the grade and how much solder to use.
