Soldering tips 101.
1. It is very very important that both the surfaces to be connected are raised to the temperature that will melt the solder, this ensures a proper join.
2. You should limit the time the components are hot, particularly the pad on a PCB as heat will degrade the glue that holds the pad to the substrate.
