I need to solder 8 silver tubes cut and shaped to fit, to the outside of a silver band. I had problems last night holding them in place. I tried to use wire, but it proved to difficult to align them all up and then tighten the wire. They were moving all over the place and I need to be really accurate.

I wonder if I loctite glue them in place and then wire them, would the glue prove a problem when I come to solder? Or would it burn off? Would it cause a problem of the solder running?

I could sand around the areas to be soldered to remove as much of the excess glue as possible and then borax the areas to be soldered.

Just an idea. I thought I would put the question you all you experts before I try it on Saturday.

Thanks in advance
