I use a solder pot periodically and have been throwing older and dirtier bits of solder into the pot. Temperature is hot enough to flow solder pretty much on everything. That being said , from your comments and a bit of hindsight, I do notice quite a lot of dross (molten impurities) that I need to skim off the surface with older solder in order to make a good connection.

The pot is small only an inch in diameter, but enough for my purposes. Sometimes the entire surface is covered.
