Testing with a board was nice and interesting. Put a sacracial board in with some solder paste, 0.5mm solder and 3mm solder to see how quickly it could melt.

Ended up being around 90 seconds for the solder paste and the 0.5mm solder, 100 seconds for the 3mm solder (nice and quick).

(solder paste on the left, 0.5mm solder on the three pads next to it and 3mm solder on the two single pads).

Leaving it for a little while longer, took 3 minutes to completely destroy the board
