here's a technique for that problem.
make a initial pass on the thin stuff to build up thickness. Lower your heat a touch and move just quick enough to not burn through.
then you can raise the heat to penetrate the thick and lay down another solid bead on top of the first. Your able to achieve bond without burning through the thin.
green is first pass, orange is the second.
