Here's some good info about crimping: http://www.svconline.com/mag/avinsta...onnectors_not/

I agree with AL about not using too much solder, especially on smaller wire. You risk failure of the wire rather than the connection. If you can afford a good ratcheting crimper for the smaller wire sizes, you really don't need to solder. They are a bit pricey, though.
