    I bet it would stick on better if you gave it a coat of borax paste flux and bring it up to bubbling temps. It would be stuck on permanent almost like brazing.

      Borax is a ant and roach killer I just add a little water and use it for a paste flux for silver soldering. It's cheap and the same thing as something labled paste flux online. I use it for electroplating.

      I soaked my rusty tools in vinegar bath for 2 days and after all black gunk was cleaned off with a cloth, I hit with a brass wire brush on my dremel. No heat and bright shiny finish. Just keep wiping clean vinegar and you will see how golden it comes up. I did 2 sets of electricians pliers and jewlers vise! The more black gunk you get off with vinegar and rags the better it comes up! Also dip the bristles from the brass wire brush in vinegar. When finished I dipped in soda bicarbonate and rinsed with distilled water. Even tap water is ok. The pliers I put a clear coat of enamel and bake with a heat gun a little. The jewellery vise? I sprayed with a lubricant/ rust preventative. Wd40 or INOX MX3 brand is the best I found! Good luck and take care!🙂👍👍👍
