How can I keep flux from seeping under the glass of my soldered charms?

I made 15 soldered charms and they turned out great. Flux has seeped under the glass of every charm I have made since.

I am very careful with my burnishing and have changed to a smaller brush to apply flux and even changed to a thicker flux and a “stickier” foil tape. Help!

But nothing makes me happier than playing with beads, wires, and tools and sharing my tips and tricks with you. I have two awesome websites where you can find tons of tutorials, courses, and workshops on how to make jewelry and how to sell it online.
