Here is a tip for when your paste flux dries out from @tkiplinger - “I like to rejuvenate my HandyFlux in small batches by placing a chunk in a mini mortar and pestle and mixing it with distilled water. In between soldering sessions, I also pour distilled water directly into the HandyFlux container and store it that way; the addition of the water makes it much easier to pry off a chunk for the mortar and pestle next time. I scoop the mixed flux it into a small airtight container where it will remain moist for a couple of days.” 🙌 Thank you for sharing this video with us! So helpful to see and such a useful technique! #flux #jewelrymakingtips
