You put Flux on the pieces to be joined to clean them and to help the solder flow. Solder for the joint and heat it with a propane torch. Clean both surfaces with steel wool or emery cloth, put a thin film of flux on both pieces, put them together. Heat the outside piece on one side only. After heating for a while, touch the solder on the opposite side from the flame. If it is hot enough, it will melt the solder and pull it around the piece to the flame. That means it is soldered all the way around the joint.
