Which ever type of silver solder you choose, be sure the parts fit as well as possible then sweat solder on both parts, clamp togather then apply heat until the solder melts and makes a good joint. You want as little space between the parts as possible and want to use as little solder as possible and still get the parts to hold solid.
You can heat the parts and let the solder wick into the joint, but I like to flux and then sweat the solder onto each part first.
If you do that, you will have a strong attachment.
