Just dip the wires in it and pull it out. What the flux does is make the surface more acceptable to solder, and make sure on the Leds you dont use too much solder, you may drown them.

soldering LED's is nothing more then putting butter on a knife :P
i just cant get the darn flux to work, wen i put the flux on my wires and try to solder my iron like sucks all the solder off the wire and the solder wont go on the wire and the flux turns to a liquid form.

i use a flux pen you apply it before soldering wait for awhile then solder and the solder will flow like a dream.
