The amount we use seems much higher rated, I like using 10A/mm^2 and that seems to be on the very conservative end still

This video is great! What wattage/temperature is that iron? Thermal mass is probably a big part of it too but Iām just curious.

thanks @skyart awesome video
need a hotter iron it seems
got a ts100 which goes to 400c and only has a tiny tip
any recommendations for a cheap good iron?
Which battery are you using?
Ts100 should be fine, get a bigger tip though if what you have isnāt cutting it.

Before I spent big on my current iron I used my Hakko which now sits at the back of the cupboard.
Theyāre pretty good.
This is what Iāve got now.

Go to a local electronics or hardware store.
You should be able to get a beefy 80w iron with a fat tip for like Ā£10-15
Perfect for these types of connections and youāll be able to do em like 10 times faster than in @Skyart video
