Apply heat for one-two-three seconds, apply flux on a spatula, apply

With most fluxes it is more normal to apply it to the cold joint during
asembly - rotating the parts to get a good even distribution. The amount
of heating will depend a litte on your torch, and the type of jont being
made (e.g. an equal tee will take more heat than a straight).
