Useful tip that Ken,sounds a little similar to the older Flux pastes,dont forget to neutralise the acid content of these solder pastes,to do this mix up some bicarbonate of soda and apply with a stiff brush,then flush the joint with running water,this will get rid of the harmful corrosive qualities of all these types of fluxes,otherwise suddenly one day you could find the joint badly corroded.
Someone once did a field solder paste,all that you did was light a match and offer to the joint for a swift temporary repair.Hobbies of London used to sell the stuff.
