My trick for soldering wires to PCBs is to put a large blob of solder on the pcb, tin the wire (with a bit more than you normally would) and then just heat the joint/wire and am done.
I run my iron really hot (750F/400c) and just get in and out. I use a curved conical tip and have never have had issues with this technique.

- genmud 4y agoOnly if you spend too much time on it. You do have to wet your tip more frequently when you are using high temp with flux core. However, I end up with shiny, well made joints 99% of the time. If I burn off the flux, I typically will wick it up and re-apply, or just swipe the solder off the joint and add more solder (depending on what I am working on).
