Hello Warren Townsend,

    I use an old insulin syringe to apply tiny drops of Battern's flux
    to the soldering joint.  Capillary action draws the liquid into the
    joint if it's not hot.  If the metal is hot,  the first drop sort of
    steams off and cools things down so that the second drop stays on
    the metal. 

Works for me,
Judy in Kansas
