Wow, I forgot about radio shack. That looks like it might be the same
stuff. The Kester 44 is hard to find but it's a Rosin RA flux and came
in a 2oz plastic can like that. One can lasts forever (as long as your
colleagues don't use it as tip cleaner ;-) ).

btw - it does make for a sticky board when your done but it cleans up
well with just some 90%+ alcohol.
