If you want, you can buy a coupler. If you don't want to buy it, you can solder a proper lineman's splice and shrinkwrap it.

I'd say just fuse it. It'll make the connection you need and offer and additional layer of safety.

I ended up using the harmony coupler mentioned in the first post. I did think about using fuses though..but yea

I like those harmony couplers a lot! Are you supposed to put shrink wrap around those?
