That ain't gonna work ;-)

(even if you ignore the cap in the space silk screened for Q1!)

The heat should shrink the plastic sleeve out the way, and melt what
remains. The iron likely has enough grunt to solder to the cap's
case, which is connected to -ve, so it should work... for some odd
value of work.

Hardly. It appears to be a single sided board. The heat would need to
transfer from the case of the cap to the lead - and you'd still not
get the multicore near the work. Then you have the problem of the
positive...

You've completely misunderstood.

Me too then... no amount of soldering to the case is going to move the
tracks on the PCB to that side!

I've read Mr Purr's comment again and still don't get it. ;-)
