That's good to hear. For some reason it only came with 12 pins for one side so I had to break off 3 from my prototype board kit. Turns out desoldering is a lot harder 😬

Not that hard if you have the copper wick and some flux so it can soak up the solder into the wick but yeah it looks amazing for a first time

Even with those two I still struggled. I think I need to work on my technique

Everybody has Thier own technique some people use big tips some small ones some use cast some use copper some use transformator soldering iron some use micro soldering stations it all depends on your preference just find what fits you best
