Steel wool is good for cleaning tube. Wipe some flux around

Fry's "Powerflow" and go for a better flux such as Laco:

Certainly if you use a finger to apply it. ;-)

I've found "Powerflow" less "active" than Laco, but neither
are particularly bad for skin (at normal temperatures!!!).

Right. I've not used either but prefer active types. And they certainly
don't do your skin any good.
