Outgassing is a good reason to wear eye protection when soldering larger
diameter holes on a PCB, where there can be more solder & the space for
a bigger bubble to form that expands when heated & can discharge the
solder like a molten round.
Happened to me at work once, assembling terminals that I would later
find in use at banks over here in VR. The crater the solder ball's
impact created thankfully was in the white of my eye.
