Solder for Brass Lampshade? Normal soldering iron? Electrical solder?

I have a brass lampshade where the neck is soldered to the body, but it got damaged slightly in transit. I have an electronics soldering iron, and some flux-core electrical solder. Should I try fixing it with that? Or do I need specialty solder? Or specialty soldering iron? What's the technique? Help, O Wise Ones? submitted by /u/spookmann [link] [comments]
