flux is tricky becuase it causes more bubbling and faster liquidation of the solder, it's hard to judge your reflow timing and temps with it.

I have had success with flux ... key thing while using it is really pay attention to the chip the whole time. It can help the solder but it sometimes can cause more problems small amount is all you need that stuff can get sticky.
