It probably ends up being a proximity reflow action rather than using the soldering iron tip as intended. :D That is how it felt when I did the kit yesterday, despite the fact that I had a bit more appropriate soldering tip to work with.

I think that is basically correct. At that scale it's more about getting heat transfer and allowing residue solder tinned onto the pads melt onto the part. Hence, counter-intuitively, a larger tip can be better, which is why I was happy to use the "crappy" house iron.

Yes man! Looks like you got your money's worth from the "training school lande mobile maintain of Shenzhen". Worked for me too! (Still the only actual soldering training I've had...)

Uncanny, I was trying to track down this school (I was there in 2014 too) based on a photo of the sign and this is the only result: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22training%20school%20lande%20mobile%20maintain%20of%20Shenzhen%22 …
(BTW I found the school, it's http://www.szlande.com/ ) - 1 more reply
