Alternately, put down some flux and solder paste on the pads. Quickest  
way is to put a bead across the row of pads. Use a hot air gun or your  
soldering iron to heat all the leads. The solder will mostly wick  
under the leads and pads. For the spots where there is extra, use a  
bit of solder wick to draw the excess out.
