Actually, I pooled some solder on the board where needed using one iron,
realized I lacked enough heat to flow it properly, then set the solder down
and picked up the (already warmed up) other iron to add the required heat.
The solder then flowed quickly and well.

PS - I'm told holding solder in one's teeth is not a good idea, so I stopped
doing that. I still enjoy rubbing mercury on old dimes to make them look
new, though  :-)
