    Thanks Howard. I guess I need to be more careful in specifying such
    home brew sources, since as you note, this clearly isn't even related
    to borax, and certainly won't make a good batch of prips flux. 

    I wonder if this was the problem encountered by some of the folks
    who followed my recipe for the flux.  I'm now and then mentioned
    borateem as borax... 

    I wonder if it's also possible I just remembered the wrong brand,
    thinking borateem instead of 20 mule team?  Dunno.  Whatever the
    case, those of you buying borax in the laundry aisle, make sure it's
    borax, OK? 

Peter
