Hi Thomas,

we were chatting a bit on electromusic about this. I used both kester
no clean, and water washable, and it was a problem with getting the
solder to adhere to the pad.

 To play devil's advocate, my technique got better after I did these
boards so quite possible it was my fault, but I will say when I
returned to them to try to resolder some of the sketchy joints, no
matter what I tried I still had the problem - including adding more
flux or cleaning off and lightly sanding the pad.

The small pads are not the end of the world for me, I don't mind that.
