Wait a mo' ... The heat shrink tubing is purely for encapsulation, insulation, and protection of the joint. It does not provide mechanical strength. You should solder the connection together to give the joint strength (I always solder crimp connectors, too), and then shrink the sleeves over the soldered connection.
Sorry I wasn't more clear about that.
