Once soldered, I tested connections. Many of them didn't work: pins from SOIC weren't properly soldered. I didn't put solder on pads before, only for the first two pins (opposite) to align the chip. When I tried the other PIC, I pre-soldered all pads, thus connections were better. I'm not sure this is required though, usually videos I could see only pre-soldered two pads.
I've soldered a few SOIC 18LF2550s onto breakout boards and always pre-tin every pad. Never had a problem. If it's not the conventional method, all I can say is it works for me (and you too!)
