Pro tip: Use molten lava. Lava is a liquid, but I don't think anyone describes it as "wet".

Lava doesn't adhere to a surface like water, it won't climb the walls of it container slightly. That is to say, it won't wet a surface, like water or flux will.

At least I don't think any kinds of lava or magma do. Maybe there's a variety that does?

Maybe there’s a variety that does?

Magma from borax, lime, or galena? All are definitely minerals and definitely fluxes.

Water is just the lava of ice.
