I'm trying to solder on the flex cable for a PicoFly. I've added some solder to the bottom two points that are touching the metal surrounding the CPU. However, I seem to only be making a bigger and bigger ball of solder when trying to melt it. I've upped the temperature on my iron but that doesn't seem to be doing anything. What am I doing wrong?

Absolutely, I just forgot to mention it. I'm using Chipquik flux. Last attempt I made before having to wrap things up for the time being, I believe I had my iron set to 400° Celsius.
