Attempting to repair pins holes in a stainless kitchen sink in place.
How do you keep the flux in place against the force of gavity?
Is there something like a ceramic sponge that can stand red heat and be used as
a carrier for the flux?

Usually you heat the brass rod and dip in into the flux and than just
braze it. If you are silver brazing you mix the flux with water and
paint it on the area to be brazed and go to it.

I repair mine with a small patch of metal and JB Weld or just one of
the epoxy sticks. Would that be an option for you? Brazing pinholes
seems a bit heavy...

How do you put holes in kitchen sinks? :/

The last place I left was 50 years old and this one is 25 years old and
neither have any more than scratches on the sink.
Your kitchen hand must be very heavy handed or do you wash car engine
parts etc.? :-@
