Sayal's does have it. It comes in many forms, from dippable gelly to convenient pens. It can be harder to find, you have to go to an older electronics store, or order it from one of the bigger suppliers (DIY electronics just isn't popular in the age of the CCCC. "Cheap Chinese Consumer Crap")
I bought a big jar of it (8 years ago? ? ) from them. I bought it when I first started repairs and I barely use it. It seems rosin flux core solder does the trick for me.

Rosin core solder (there are two types, one for lead solder and one for lead free) is what you need for new solder joints (and it's also why Clay suggests adding solder to joints before solder sucking them).
Rosin flux paste or liquid can be particularly helpful when removing old solder or when attaching to coil terminals - those thicker wires need more heating time (especially if you are using a battery operated or gas pencil soldering iron in the field, and using the additional flux helps clean the joint AND helps bring the heat to the joint faster. Works every time! If I want solder to flow better from one side of a board to another, some additional liquid flux works well too. As it burns away it helps draw solder along with it through the circuit board and to the back pad.
