Like said in prior post; GET IT CLEAN AND SHINY. That is the first step on any solderable metals. Kester is by far my favorite and it MUST be acid core, at least for a newbie. Experienced solderers can use acid flux and solid core. Filling the tank within inches of your joint is advisable as metals like brass, copper, alumnium, ect are EXCELLENT heat conductors and will get hot quick.
I mostly solder copper wire (Industrial Electrician), but have "sweated" A LOT of copper pipe too! It the over flow tube is too hard to sweat all the way around without leaking use a copper coupling. A HVAC or hardware store should have the size you need. Just bring in the broken piece to size. The larger pieces can be soldered slowly, short areas at a time.
