Thanks.
I've had trouble soldering brass , so decided to stick with the tried and tested styrene.
Whether or not the joint when soldering pretty much anything is a bit hit and miss, it seems. I guess it is either to blame on bad equipment (a cheap soldering iron, 40W, of which the very tip always seems to have most trouble heating up properly), greasy or otherwise dirty surfaces or just bad technique.
