Stay Brite Silver Solder and liquid flux

since i am an old refrigeration guy and not a Plumba, i like to use stay brite silver solder as my choice to solder. i just came off a boiler job where the buiding was 37 degrees and used soft solder non lead with a gray and white flux paste. i had to heat it to apply!?! [the flux]
with stay brite, it normally rings around good the 1st time, not the non lead. does the liquid flux create a problem, gentlemen?
thanks

Im not quite sure what your saying
I use the liquid flux to tin steel or if i am soldering cap tubes but I have found its messy to use on larger pipe sizes. I switched not too long ago to water soluble no-korode, it runs well and and I love the way it cleans off my hands and pipe. I like using staybright solder but it gets expensive for larger pipes.0
