I'd like to tin one side of a 5/16" square copper bar so that it can
be soldered to a PCB. A soldering iron isn't doing the trick, even
with lots of flux. Any ideas?

Did you clean it thoroughly? You can use acid flux for this as long as you
thoroughly wash it off afterwards. Then you just need enough heat - even a
burner on the stove will do.
