The right type of solder for electronics work contains flux inside tiny tubes in the wire. This looks like solid solder + separate flux - not a good idea for electronic work.
If you aren't using it for electronics, then you smear a THIN layer of the flux on the two halves of the joint, heat and flow in the solder.
