On the same subject, different product:

Another smith here ordered some flux, kindly got some for me.  I've
only tried it once but it seems to work. Easy to manage, unlike borax
from the supermarket.  Finely granulated.

     Iron Mountain
     Forge Welding Flux

     Contains:

        Disodiumtetraborate
        Pure Iron Powder

     Distributed by:

     Blackwater Forge, Inc.
     Dolomite, Alabama
     205-744-9666

Only oddity is that it  comes in a plastic container with a squirt
top.  If you're doing a lot of welding, how long will it be before you
leve the bottle too close to the fire and melt the side out of it?

Maybe y'all already know about this product.  News to me, though.
