When taught electronic circuit soldering techniques in civilian and military
tech schools for electronics, we were taught to use the thinnest solder
applicable to the joint/circuit and the appropriate iron for the job.  You
always verified your iron temp by melting the first bit of the solder wire
on your cleaned iron and wiped of on sponge.  Some minor changes for liquid
flux instead of cored solder.

Planned insanity is best.
