How long does it take?

I've seen a writeup that says roughly, lots of flux, get a blob of solder on 
the tip of the iron and sweep it across a row of pins.  If all goes well, it 
just works.  I haven't tried it.

It was many years ago when I noticed that my eyes getting older had crossed 
over the pins getting smaller.
