With todays epoxies one might want to consider that option.
Would seem to make positioning the plates easier and greatly
reduce the chance for damage. Its my plan for reinstalling a
tag on a RBM tank.

That’s what I would do. Heating a large spot on a newly nickel plated gas tank to the temperature required to melt solder may turn into a lesson in heartbreak. If you still want to solder then I’d suggest melting the solder on the tank first and then apply the tag and heat again. The old solder on the tag will quickly bond to the new tank solder. This way there is less risk of damage to the tag because it won’t have to get as hot.
