Everyone has there own way of doing things. Some have learned through experience what works good and what works better in their opinion. Then there are those who use the word best to describe their method. You can just about bet they will chime in here shortly. Anyway...

This is how I've been splicing for years. It took years for me to get all of the details straight.

Like twisting the wires side by side instead of the "hook/loop" method.

Some people don't solder, but just twist the wires and tape them. I like the solder as it's more permanent and less prone to loose continuity.

I didn't learn how to clean and tin the tip of a soldering iron until I took classes on stained glass.


These are some of the tips that I've picked up over the 30 years of building cars.

Everyone has their own ways and opinions, this is how I do it, and it has worked well for me.
