I keep a bottle of Kester 197 activated rosin on the bench. Saves a lot of solder: if all you want is more flux, you don't have to waste solder to get it. I suppose you'd have to buy a quart of the stuff minimum, so the flux pen would be a good alternative for small quantities (I got mine from work).
