or my hands and make them fall apart?

Glad it's not just me. Luckilly I've not been sweating many joints for the last couple of weeks and my hands are pretty respectable again.

I'm fine with less aggressive flux's anyway. I've bought a load of Powerflow as I was getting on with that, but they changed the recipe about 6 months back. The new stuff is whiter and less "greasy" looking. Not as good in my opinion. Doesn't turn yellow if you leave the lid off the tub so it's definetly changed.

Just the pipe unless the piece is more than 21" long

Eh? What's the reason for this ?

It's to do with future work hardening and material sag over certain lengths of table x, can also lead to dezincification and pitting of brass further down the line if excess flux is pushed into pipe roughly 535mm (21") or longer.
