| My flux dried out
Its not all hard its just alot thicker than when it was new. I dont know why it did that because the lid was always on tight. Is there something that I can mix into it to get it back to normal or should I just buy some new flux. It says on the back of the container that I can use water. Would it be alright if I did that?
