Really enjoying this already. Re-heat soak causing disassembly as fast as assembly I employ technique used for welding (although looks like I'm probably teaching the OP to sick eggs given what's been done already).
Set your piece up so that there is a heat sink between your new joint and the existing ones. Tool makers clamps are good for this or a steel block. You need a reasonable surface to surface connection. Use more heat but less time to melt the joint. You may need to let it cool and go again several times to get a full/neat joint.
