All the  big suppliers like Farnell stock this sort of stuff. I use 
something called Flux SK10 made by Kontakt Chemie. It's an aerosol flux. It 
takes some time to dry, but works very well. I have also used a 
solder-through lacquer in the past, that can be better as it it isn't sticky 
when handling. Soldering is a bit harder, though.

I don't actually use it much. My home-made PCBs don't seem to oxidise, even 
after several months, probably because there is a small amount of resist 
left on the copper.
