For GTAW I don't see any issue as long as all the flux is removed and I personaly would clean it with aceton before trying to use it as the filler.

Be careful- some stick electrodes final metalurgy depends on materials that are added to the flux (iron powder for example). Others will I'm sure expand on this.
