oh, and we use these things here on base, i do electronics in the air force, that we put on the wire. almost looks like a butt connector. but you put both the wires in at seperate ends, then heat them up with a heat gun. it's basically heat shrink and solder all in one step, without flux or the iron. so you heat it long enough so that the solder penetrates the joint fully, and you're good to go, as the heatshrink will seal both ends.
