To me its easier to do this if you are using solder paste because you can apply it to the VIA then touch with the iron for a instant creating a pad. I have done it both ways, anymore i just scrape the VIA's, I then pre-tin my wires and tip them with a little flux then attach to the board. Like Tyler said, bond is instantanious and takes only a split second.
