Quoting steve.cooper@xxxxxxx:

>From what I have read this should be avoided unless you *really* don't
want to
solder. I doubt it would take much to dislodge the connections, leading to
untold problems and head scratching!

>From my experience (using the pin header), the key is plenty of solder
should
flow into the pin holes so contact is made both sides of the board. The
grey
wire is the hardest bit of the whole task though. I put a small blob of
solder
on the cable, laid it flat on the board and melted the blob into the hole.
I've
heard there is another point that this wire (if extended) can be connected
to
on the underside of the board, this is supposedly easier.

TBH, you would have to try pretty hard to balls it up!
