Hi Iain,
Yes, you get nice looking 'solder joints' which are NOT solder joints because
no metallurgical bond has formed. Externally, these 'joints' are
indistinguishable from good ones.
215°C may be insufficient--hand soldering provides much more heat; but
without prying these hand-soldered joints apart and seeing what the failure mode is
[interfacial vs. through the solder], you actually do not know whether
hand-solderiing improved the situation oyher than adding more solder volume.
Regards,
Werner Engelmaier
