Hi,
In the past I've used a soldering gun with the tip cut off and a ~1/4 "
gap between the electrodes. Then touched the electrodes across the
workpiece firmly and applied power. Can solder a 1 oz piece of steel
plate in about 15 seconds. Sort of like a mini spot welder. Works great
for rechargable fixes. It might be a bit small for that big copper
plate but there are bigger guns and you get the idea. Unfortunately
those big irons are great for this kind of stuff, thats why roofing
guys still use them.
