I'm going to look it up, but I figured I'd get your professional opinion as well.
Somehow I have missed all the posts on this thread... Whoops!

The best method I have found is to smear a small amount of the flux on the tab, then tin the end of the soldering iron with the zinc flux. When you touch the iron to the tab it will liquify the flu and the solder should flow onto the tab. I use a reasonably wide chisel tip on the iron and keep it on the tab with a swirling motion to make sure that the solder spreads evenly.
