Soldering for idiots

Tried a new (to me) product liquid solder paste, available @ Ace hdw et al. Kinda spendy but if you find soldering a fearsome task it may alleviate some agnst.  It's best feature is it's applied cold w/ a brush, just to where you want it, touch the piece with the iron and "blammo" soldered parts.  It also leaves a hand free to hold / allaign components. Tiny discreet bonds can be had with little trouble.  It produces a fair amount of slag, so a post cleaning is a must.  I have been able to make bonds that I doubt I could have done without it, so for me it has already paid for itself.
