    Standard silver brazing flux works fine on stainless steel, been
    using it for years.  It sounds like you are trying to use gold
    soldering flux on stainless.  I've done it in a pinch, but it took a
    series of coatings and a lot of flux.  In order to keep the
    stainless from oxidizing quite so much, make sure the whole piece is
    coated with the flux.
