20 Mule Team Borax Soap. Use it to flux metal in forge welding and in
the Lead pot.

a lot of things make good flux , candles ,crayons, beeswax , bullet lube, sawdust ,motor oil, and even a wooden dowel stirred into the pot til it charcoals up works well. no sense spending money you could be spending on powder or primers, Enjoy.............Dean
