This may be the best thing to use provided care is exercised. 
Furthermore, a torch is what plumbers use. Even though they state the 
melting point in the mid 400s, all indications are that higher 
temperature is needed before the solder flows freely. Wetting 
properties are definitely not on par with the more expensive stuff.
