Are you talking about butt splices for RG59? It sounds like you are.
You should look into them to see what makes them work. A properly crimped butt splice has compressed the metals to the point where there is what's called "cold flow" that results in intimate metal to metal contact with no space between. I don't think a soldered connection is any better than this! And I mean technically speaking.
No, butt splices for the 18/2.
