Alternately, is there another easy-to-get flux I could use? I only
rarely need to silver-braze anything, so I don't need/want a gallon jug

FWIW, I used plain old borax dissolved in water for silver soldering
in jewelery work for years without problems. I have tried to revive
commercial flux and have always been unsuccessful
Plain old Borax will work well. It is not as aggressive as fluxes
with florides. So clean the metal well. You can get it in a lot of
grocery stores in 4 plus lb boxes. Just put a bunch in a jar with a
lid and use the rest in the laundry.
