Flux: belt and suspenders or a good practice?

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

I've been using Kester 63/37, bar and wire as well as Cardas for a long time. They, of course, contain flux. Never used extra flux and never had a problem.

I see using extra flux, even adding it to the pot, mentioned a lot. How necessary is it?
