That video is neat, but the issue when soldering PL-259s isn't melting the
insulation in the connector, rather it's melting the dielectric in the
coax. Some coax dielectrics, especially foam types, melt at a fairly low
temperature, which makes soldering a dicey proposition.
Dielectric that doesn't melt is yet another characteristic of better
quality coax. There is a reason why stuff from better mfrs like Belden
and Commscope costs more.
