I have been soldering a copper HDD water cooler this way - put an iron

play with liquid solder and rosin (I bought a 1kg bag in a drugstore).
Your drug stores sell rosin? Ours sells Doritos, but I don't think that counts. :)Umm, yeah. For some reason that gave me the mental image of trying to use sun tan lotion as flux. ;)I sometimes use citric acid (in solid crystalline form) as a flux and citric acid is being sold in drugstores too :)
Hmm, I'll bet that smells good, too! :-)
