However, if you are soldering something that will move, like a cable or a
cable connector, chances are if you leave the connection 'dull' it will break
at some point down the line. This is also called a 'cold' solder joint.
Better to re-heat and redo it right. Take it from someone who had to
re-solder a video cable in the middle of a concert in high school :)
