I'll be following this thread. In 40 years of welding and brazing,
I've never found a GOOD way to remove the glass-like residue from
brazing flux. At one place I worked, they used bare (unfluxed) rod,
and had a flux pot between the Acetylene tank and the torch.
Interesting green flame, great fluxing action, and almost zero
residue.
