Larry,
K6FSB and N2MS just gave you the correct answer!
You'll need the correct stripping and crimping tools, and the right
snap-and-seal connectors. It's a one-time, low-cost investment that will
save you much time and frustration. Once you try it, you'll see.
There is nothing "sacred" about soldering. Think about the billions of
crimped F-connectors in all the CATV, etc. systems in the world.
Also, the sticky is "flooding compound". It's your friend, as nasty as it
is. :-)
