Steve,
My problem is not with flux, it's finding a solder to match color.  The article 
doesn't mention metal color.  Flux can have an effect upon color in that a 
chemical reaction is taking place between the flux and the metal and at the 
edge 
of the flux, where the metal surface changes from having been exposed to a 
chemical reaction to not having been exposed to a chemical reaction, a visible 
change in color may indeed occur but this is superficial and can usually be 
scoured off with abrasive cloth.  Most of the silver solders we use for boiler 
building and misc assembly have a faint but distinct yellowish caste which will 
stand out aginst SS like a badly beaten thumb, which is what I want to avoid.
Reagrds,
Harry
