Hi guys:

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?

get the bar hot enough to melt solder (stick it on the stove or blast
it with a blow-torch) then flux it and apply solder.

Bye.
