[Elecraft] heat and wicking

[Alan Beck]

Hi,

I am wondering about heat, I am using the mid-range you suggest of 750F for my 
soldering station.

It is hard to get the solder to wick straight through to the other side of the 
board.

I know there is a connection through the hole.

In your notes, I don't see any suggestions on how much to heat a component. 
ie: the rapidity of moving from one pin to the next of the component.

When soldering, of course I understand that you heat the metal of both pieces 
and apply the solder to the metal being soldered.

Do I have to be that anal with this kit to make sure they all wick to the 
other side?

In my mind, I risk damaging something along the way.
