Yeah, I wouldn't think that a soldering iron could get it hot enough quickly. Most irons are fairly low wattage (below 60 watts) so they can't heat up a large volume of steel very quickly. (we have to use special 270 watt irons to solder to boards like the MMM -- just because of the amount of copper in the board...)
