Has anyone tried Oatey 95 Tinning Flux?

Basically it's flux that contains solder that coats the fitting and the pipe when you heat it while soldering end feed and is supposed to tin the joint and fill in any gaps that might happen when soldering. Thought it might be worth a go for soldering in tight areas and ordered a small tub to give it a go.

Our friends from across the pond have given it good reviews.

 
Don’t think you can use it on mains
 
You still playing the game of two part answers Shaun. ;)

That’s because I don’t know any more just never seen any tin flux wras approved
 
I thought you just used pressfit or tectite?
Mainly I do when it's a new build, but lots of the older properties here have 3/4" pipe and I'll use end feed adapters to go to 22mm metric. I still like soldered fittings in inaccessible areas like under a floor or behind a wall cavity. Before anyone mentions green rings, I hate compression and wouldn't fit one below a floor.
