Just remember, solder melts at less than half the temperature to rquired to melt copper, if indeed your contacts were pure copper. Solder is a very temporary solution and won't last. It isn't legal for use (ie CEC) as a switch contact material nor for use in any current-carrying conductor joints, due to it's poor ability to withstand heating.

Never confuse freedom with democracy.
