Not sure how one would tin the wire or the connector once
the crimp has been made. Proper wire is already tinned and
so are many connectors. I remember reading many years ago in
NASA Tech Briefs that crimpped connections are more
reliable than soldered ones in the long run due to microcracks
in the solder joint due to thermal cycling.

not bad, except the sequence in "crimp, tin, solder"

Sounds like good info for all. Personally, I'm a believer in "tin -
crimp -
solder".
When maintence boss for a fleet of seasonal boats, I had one person who
would
go to each boat and check EACH electrical connection for corrosion and
tightness.
At first he considered this a waste of time .... then he began to run
across
loose and corroded connection .....
