I just take the rod out of the holder and pretend the hot end is a pencil
and drag it across the floor holding it about a 45 degree angle and at the
same time rolling it between my fingers. Like putting the fluxed end into a pencil
sharpener. That usually grinds the flux back at about a 45 degree angle with just
a little steel showing all the way around.
