Default Flux for lead soldering

Hi All,

I need to make up a fairly complex shaped lead flashing to go around a
pipe tomorrow. I fancy having a go at soldering the seams. I saw a
programme on TV a couple of years ago when this was being done using a
narrow strip of lead offcut as the solder but can't remember if any flux
was used.

Is it necessary and if so what should I use? I have some Baker's Fluid
and ordinary core solder as used in electronic work.

Thanks In advance

Bob
