No. ;-) The heat required for these will weaken the cable - or loose the
flexibility. All that's required is to splay out the strands at the nipple
and stop them pulling through. The shear strength of soft solder more than
matches a 'solderless' nipple of the type which relies on friction.

Never done it so can't help any further!
