Borax cannot be had in the shops over here any more.

If you are really stuck it can be obtained from chemical reagent suppliers.

Ask for Anhydrous Disodium Tetraborate.

Quite expensive compared to the laundry stuff, but I don't do that much forge welding anyway, and it comes in a nice air-tight plastic container, which stops it going lumpy in my damp shop.
