Parker Double Repair question

I'm putting the heat on the same side as the lug but the solder just beads and runs off. I was afraid of applying too much heat but it looks like the beading might be an issue of not enough heat on the area I'm trying to re-solder.

Am I right? Is there a better technique to this repair?

Thanks

Are the forend lugs generally silver soldered in place? In my limited experience I have found them soft soldered. Your mileage may vary...
