I don't know if many of you have tried soldering brass etched "bits" together to make something up. It's easy to finish up with a great blob of solder.
I have recently taken to using solder paste. Just apply it with the tip of a screwdriver ( or old brush) and the grey gunk turns into a thin film of solder as you apply the iron.
The drawback is that it is not cheap, about £20-£25 for a 125mL pot. The good news is the pot will last a long, long time.
The stuff I am using is Fryolux Solder Paint, manufactured by Alpha-Fry Technologies, and should be available at a good specialist hardware shop. Not your B&Q or a pots & pans hardware shop
