Yea, that's not uncommon. Like I said, a little flux should cure that. Last big soldering project I did, I just smeared the pcb with flux, put in the LEDs, then just got a blob of solder on the iron and touched all 120 legs on the LEDs and was done in about 45 minutes. The flux madebit alot easier since I had to use the solder to bridge the gaps between the LEDs. Just a old toothbrush and some water to clean the excess flux off. It makes soldering so much easier. Same with soldering the 0 gauge wire for my stereo. The solder wouldn't ever wick into the wire without it.
