Hold a pin against the hard solder and heat the reverse side of the
board. When the solder gets hot the pin slides through the board and
creates a clean hole with the shaft of the needle. The cool metal of the
needle cools the solder and makes a tunnel shape of solder on the hot
side of the board. Use care, a metal pin sometimes gets hot (Like
McDonald's coffee) Also pins are sharp.
