    After gluing the pieces together, I pack Heat Sheild compound around
    the outside of the pieces (Just enough to hold everything together).
    Then i flux it up. I use a mini torch, heat up the solder joint.
    When 

    the flux runs glassy, i put my fluxed chips of solder where i want
    them to be, and the solder flows into the gap where the crazy glue
    was. I hope this helps!
