Doesn't really matter if you have too MUCH solder..it juts makes an ugly
blobby mess..but you can wipe that off while its molten with a thick cloth.

It can do - if you put so much in that it breaks the surface tension,
it can pull solder out of the joint. Depends how much of a gap there
is to be filled. When you come to wipe the joint it reveals a gap,
which might go right into the joint.
In such cases it might be best to leave the mess - but you might end
up with a pinhole sooner or later.

It's one of those 'one in a hundred' likelihoods, but it's sod's law
that when you set to soldering a joint there'll be 99 other people out
there doing exactly the same job at the same time.
