I am having a lot of trouble getting my 5W LS to connect to an aluminum flashlight. My solder adheres fine to copper and steel, but will NOT stick to aluminum. Whats the deal? I can't keep the connection reliable. After the LS heats up, the thermal expansion is enough to cause the connection to fail.
Can anyone recommend a solution? For example is there a type of solder I should be using that works with Aluminum?
Thanks for any help.
