    I use Prips most of the time, from a spray bottle, add more as
    needed, but it tends to cool down the surface if I over do that
    aspect, you can heat up the copper then introduce the bezel to the
    surface once you get the copper to soldering temperatures. If too
    much oxygen gets in then you have to pickle and try again, but if you
    keep the heat to it you should reduce oxidization. 

Good luck.
