    Carla, a friend of mine uses snake chain quite frequently and his
    method is not to solder at all. He does it by sort of riveting the
    end cap on.He will make an end cap of some form and then drill
    though the tube that the snake will fit into. Then when he is ready
    to finish things he will insert the snake chain and drill through the
    same holes he had previously drilled and drill through the snake
    chain. Then he inserts a small piece of wire which has already been
    balled upon one end. The last step is to cut the rivet wire to the
    appropriate length and ball up the second end. He uses this
    technique on all his snake chains.
