Add a very little ipa to the gycerine in order to use
it as a flux. Start with something like 20 parts
glycerine to 1 part ipa. If it gums up and turns
black, add more ipa. Keep on adding ipa until it's
right (No black residue. Some brown residue is OK and
expected. The brown residue can be easily cleaned off
with flux remover (More easily than traditional flux).
