How do you prepare this for use?

You dont have to prepare it. Open can and get brazing rod hot and dip it in open can. The flux will stick to it. Works great. you can control the amount you need and wet out the base metal as needed. Save you from worrying about you flux falling off of the flux coated rods... then you have no flux. No forget to periodically dip rod in flux to recoat. After a while you will get the hang of it. They also make a #2 i cant seem to find on amazon. Try ebay. Lyndell

clean up removal of excess flux after welding is finished ?

Flux residue can be removed with hot water.

Can this be used in blacksmithing?

It can be, but not best. The working temperature is for brazing, but Borax is used for brazing AND forge welding, but this has boric acid added to lower the working temperature for brazing. You can add a little ash to it to help with blacksmithing.
