Since this seems obviously targeted to my posts, exactly what variables are you posting about. You didn't mention the exact type of track. Presuming your boasts about your soldering experience are true, it would not be stainless, as we know that would greatly increase the difficulty. Maybe you're using the wrong iron or solder, again you didn't specify what you use.
Well anyone can post a video if they prefer.
but that won’t change the reality I have encountered getting sufficient heat to the rail, with flux and without, then getting the tinned wire and the rail to join in a satisfactory joint
That's the part I'm trying to understand. First off, I never needed more flux than the Rosin Core solder provides, that that's a non-issue. My 100/140W gun gets plenty of heat where I need it to solder to the rail, and I've also used the same gun on countless joints on Atlas solid rail connections for our club modules.
And I would be willing to compare my Soldering Experience and Expertise against anyone.
All evidence to the contrary.
