My method for soldering was to strip, then pre-tin each bare conductor with as
much solder as it would reasonably accept, prior to inserting it into the
lug for 
crimping. As you can see, this helped ensure the best possible electrical and
mechanical connection to the lug when crimping.  After connecting the lug
to it's
termination point (circuit breaker, stud, etc.) it was then easy to heat and
apply additional solder, with the connection serving as a heat-sink.
