[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8747312, member: 591582"] I didn’t actually use solder here. I used uninsulated butt caps. I have a wire thing I do inside of the butt cap, if I can. I could here, a way to do wire on wire contact inside of the butt connector. The shrink tube has heat activated glue inside, so it seals and strengthens the connections. So it’s held together by both a crimp and the shrink tubing and it’s glue. That shrink tubing is thick marine grade, 3:1 shrink ratio. I measured the wires with a caliper before I got the tubing, just to make sure it would fully seal. Had some very significant wire coating thickness differential. That 3:1 and glue sealed all of it up completely. [/QUOTE]
