Borax or boric acid?
Which is a stronger flux, borax or boric acid? Are there any other notable differences in the way they work between the two?

All I know is that 20 mule team borax works. I never tried anything else. Some will crystalize at the bottom of the bottle, just pour the liquid off and it works. This stuff is cheap.

borax: Na2B4O7
boric acid: H3BO3
they are not interchangeable and not the same.
