    IMHO, Judy Willingham came up with the best method of applying
    Prip's flux, worth repeating:

    I found a spray-bottle-with-cap in an art-supply store. Didn't know
    if the spray was fine enough, but since it cost only $1.69 (!) it
    was worth trying. It worked just fine, and still hasn't clogged. 

    This approach is convenient and simple! 

    By the way, my sprayging chamber is the back yard; the "booth" is
    nothing more complicated than a fire brick on an upside-down flower
    pot.
