Both have ranges - the problem with what they sell is that the stuff 
that looks most appropriate has double sided adhesive tape exactly where 
you want to solder to. It's very difficult to remove and leave a decent 
solderable surface.

Could you use a ring of thin copper foil (or numerous individual pieces) 
and a hose clip to tighten them onto the anode?
