For joining which metals? Regular old NoKorrode works on most stuff
and is much easier to work with than the liquid acid fluxes, like
Harris Stay Clean, which are only necessary when you need something
more aggressive. On stainless, for example. And I've never seen that
dry out - I have a bottle of All State Duzall that's old as dirt and
is just fine.

For the folks about to jump on me for suggesting NoKorrode, Stay Brite
is a low temp silver solder. Its melting point is lower than 95-5 lead
free solder's.
