Although I've never tried it, I've watched the demo and have a solder pot if I ever try it. You tin the braid first, then trim the dialectric back. Instead of trying to flow the solder with flux through the four holes, the tinned braid will solder itself though the solder holes.
I had to make up 6 RG-213 patch cords this afternoon. I use the DX engineering strip tool and their crimping kit. Even after soldering the centre pin, I don't think I spent more than one hour for all 12 connectors.
