[Elecraft] Soldering after Crimping

This may be a dumb thing to do, but after crimping (using the more 
expensive ratchet type crimper) and inserting the connectors into their 
housing, I run some hot melt glue around the conductors where they enter 
the housing.  This IMHO provides support to the conductors where flexing 
may tend to cause failure after a time.

I would be pleased of anyone could provide reasons why this is a stupid 
idea to put their argument on the reflector.  We learn by mistakes and 
by discussion!
