How about giving up the copper pipe and hunting down something like a=20
ceramic Tea Pot or a Coffee cup?
If the copper pipe is essential, how about clamping one (or more) $4=20
soldering irons to the copper pipe with hose clamps?
Also a hot air gun will do it.  Or just set it on a hot plate?

The optimist expects it to change;
The realist adjusts the sails."
