 Yes, and despite most folks cranking the damned things up that high,
basic soldering operations (pre-RoHS) were NEVER meant to be performed at
that high a temperature.  Even on big 0.092" stock with lots of Copper.
In that case, one should pre-heat the whole assembly a couple hundred �F,
which will insure that all the solder joints wet well and flow through
properly.
