Soldering with solder paste

I was looking through youtube the other day for brass soldering tips, found this

He uses flux/solder paste looks like a nice tidy wy to go on the fiddlier brass jobs. I have since bought a small tub off ebay and its brilliant, I have done the 1st set of handrails for my latest custom and the paste is a pretty tidy job without trying to juggle a soldering iron and a roll of solder.

Hope this will be of some help to someone?

Well, I have been using this now for a bit on the railings on my Komatsu build and its really good clean stuff. Just dab a little bit onto the joint and touch it with the solder iron.

Well worth getting a tub if you dabble with brass.
