That is done and works. But the issue is you dont get any capillary action with the solder. You quickly cool the solder when you put the copper in and it is no longer liquid. It can be looked at as a cold solder joint. It might have the physical holding but the electrical qualities are reduced. Its a good idea to make a solid connector. One where the solder has completely filled the voids and creates a unit. Im not saying one method is correct. Just what I like to do. JR
