Al,

I'm running about 350-380C with 0.7mm solder... any suggestions?
Also, do I need to solder both sides to the header?

If the LCd PCB is doublesided with connections on both sides, mostly 
it should be PTH.
then you need to solder to one side only

Pin Through Hole - gotcha.  Just don't want to bugger up another LCD!
(I've killed two...)

> Pin Through Hole
It is Plated Through Hole - There is a plated connection between the 
top layer and bottom layer through the hole.
You can identify it by looking at the hole in an angle
