One major problem you need to solve, if you are using soft solders, is
how to keep the old joints from falling apart while you work on later
ones.

With high temperature hard solders you use decreasing temperature
solders as you work towards completion and don't tend to heat soak the
whole part as much since the technique is different and the flames more
concentrated.
