Thought I would start a new topic on this, although it was mentioned in a post about aircon.
You must use leadfree solder, and no flux at all. The secret is to scratch through the solder pool with a stainless steel probe to remove the oxide layer. In actual fact, as you need to heat the work up to softening point, is is more welding than soldering.
I have successfully done this many times, and a very neat job is possible
