Oh, it's jewelry wire, not electrical you're dealing with. There may be different techniques to use there.
It's worth noting, though, that even if your solder has a flux core, more flux can help.

So what would you call it when making the joins in organ pipes? (For those who don't know, organ pipes are made of an alloy of tin and lead - sound familiar?)
(It's called soldering, in practice.)
bhtooefr:
I'd be the pedantic asshole to call it welding, but given that it's welding pieces of solder together...

That's like asking whether mixing two types of glue together is called mixing or glueing.
