I thought I would take the easy step of powering up some Atlas #6 frogs and amy stymied by not being able to solder to them. I am trying to solder to the bottom of the round (screw hole?) wing on the frog. I have tried scraping it with a screwdriver and even cuting into it (from the bottom) with a knife. The solder simply will not stick. What am I missing here? Any other ways of attaching a feeder wire?
