No no, not at all The only thing i have to be wary about, is when i remove the block from the hot-plate, because the melted solder makes the surface extremely slippery, almost like wet ice. And the top could go out of position, so you have to be fast and correct it, before the solder is set. On the other hand, i guess i don't need to move it from the hot-plate, before the solder is set. Just turn the heat off. But it will take about 4-5 minutes to cool down,(because of the big mass in the hot-plate) and i don't know if it's good for the solder, to be "melted" over several minutes?
