Excellent!
I've wanted to make something similar for a Quadra 605 board I have (sad story, the guy who sold it dropped it as they were passing it to me, and the case folded like a taco. The price dropped sharply in that instant).

My students taught me that you can remove permanent marker from a whiteboard by drawing over it with an erasable whiteboard marker and wiping it off with the eraser.

I feel the same about "times smaller" - as in "The diameter of The Moon is four times smaller than Earth".

If I'm to accept it's possible to make something smaller by multiplying by a positive integer, we all must accept its possible to reduce drug prices by integer multiples of 100% ๐Ÿ˜œ

Keep in mind that you're using the iron to heat the work piece hot enough to melt the solder, not melting solder onto the work piece.
However, a little molten solder on the tip helps with heat transfer.
