Hello,

I've always used a borax bar and dish along with strip solder.

I have recently tried the solder paste which I find quite useful for smaller things like jump rings although I still hate soldering jump rings! I hold my breath every time! haha!

Just in general (no particular piece), I was wondering if anyone has any better recommendations in terms of flux or brands....I have never tried liquid flux but wondered if it made the job cleaner?

I've also seen an easy Flo powder as well which you add water to and then supposedly add it into the borax dish to help with the flow. It doesn't say what kind of consistency or anything but just guessing maybe it is trial and error?

Anyway, thanks as always for anyone that might have anything to add.

Louise
