Have you used shrink tube before?Simply strip wire about 3/8"-1/2", slip a piece of shrink tube 3 times the length of the splice,twist wires together and slide shrink tube over splice, heat the tube till it shrinks tight around splice (I use a Bic lighter but don't burn it!)Better than electrical tape because it doesn't come loose with time or contaminates.
