You might be able to get around an oven if you use a 200 watt gun instead of an 
iron. Clean the spot well where the solder is to be applied, and apply the heat 
with the gun. A propane or butane torch would also work. I used a Weller 200 
watt gun to solder directly to steel chassis for ground connections. It will 
put out the heat needed on large pieces like this quickly. A 40 watt iron or 
smaller though is another story.

Best,

Will
