Good idea, I've found that the roll pins fall out some times, in fact I've stopped using them for that reason. Q-tips sound a far better and cheaper idea.
Never ever had a problem with powerpoles, including their use in a Land Rover. Just make sure you hear the click as the pin goes into the housing. Tried crimping, went back to soldering...
