Solder flows like water, it "wants" to stick to absorbent material via capillary action. The only difference is the material needs to be clean and free from oxidization so it has a direct metal contact (that's why solder has a flux core), and it needs to be hot. If you take care of that, the solder will pretty much do what you want it to.
