Hey Gary!
I solder at 800F with a Weller temp-controlled iron and have a little
tub of "Kesler 44" rosin flux on the bench. When reheating a joint I
take an Exacto knife with the number 11 blade(the pointed triangular one
that is also good for removing splinters, self-mutilation, etc.) and
just dip the point about 1 or 2 mm into the goo...about as much as a
pile and a half of fly poop...if you are familiar with that... and apply
it to the soldering point before heating.
I am not an expert at soldering but have done it, fairly successfully,
for the last 45 years or so as a passtime...just hobby related, you
understand...
The tubs of rosin are available at Mouser Electronics... or at least
they were not too long ago...about two bucks as I recall...
