Pablo,

    To get your crystalized paste flux to go back to a paste form. Heat
    the crystalized flux in a stainless steel pot over low heat on a
    stove and stir gently until it dissolves, add a little water and
    remember it will be much thicker in consistency once it is cooled
    back to room temperature so add more water than you think it needs
    while it is hot. 

    The components in flux are often poisonous so have a special pot to
    do this in that is only used for flux, do not use a pot that will be
    used for cooking food in. 

Jim
