The way I did the stainless steel wires I show above is I heated the wires lightly then dipped them in the borax powder. It looks like rock candy when you’re fluxed.
ETA- I learned from this video. I don’t use his expensive rod or flux though. Just $4 20 mule team laundry booster and yellow brass wire from the craft section at Walmart.

I was just curious if you used the same method I have seen. Borax has been as brazing flux before I was born. When I worked in a welding shop when in in 1968 that is what was used when brazing. Although they seldom brazed things.
