Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.  I'll make a trip to the shack and hope they have more options.

Does this look any better?

Thanks.  I am tinning but it seems to be accumulating on one side.  Also, the solder melts quicker on one side vs the other (talking about the tip here).  As far as lead free, I'm not sure.  Bought the solder from wal-mart.  It didn't advertise as lead free so I assumed it wasn't.  I guess I need to use my desolder braid and remove the diodes and start again?

I'm having a little issue with my soldering iron.  It's not heating evenly across the end.  It tried to go ahead and use it.  My question is, can the solder touch on adjacent components.  The top side looks fine.
