I'm around 400 F , as low as I can and have the solder still melt. I was about 575 for the lead free. I'm going to go higher now, no wonder I was having issues. I have a couple different solders now that have left their packages since my original build and now I forgot which one is lead or lead-free. :-(
Follow Ups:
at higher temperatures of the solder gun, you can get in and out much faster with actually less risk of overheating and damaging a part. The change from ~670 degrees with my Velleman to 750 degrees with may Hakko shows me this is true on a daily basis. I just love that Hakko, even though I misspelled the brand name several times above. I bought the 888D for a bit more than $100; it's all I will ever need.
wish I knew this before I built the PH16, would have saved me some grief and profanity ... lesson learned. I do have variable temp, some off brand cheapo called X-tronic, but seems to work ok. I don't think that beats the rack stereo I once saw called "Electro Brand", with a 'tower' speaker containing maybe one 5 1/4 driver.
