How to do a Basic Wire Splice
Word of caution....I used to also solder every single joint after crimping a butt or an eyelet connector. I stopped soldering very small wires because I've found that the wire will break if there is any movement at all. The wire will break right at the solder joint (where the solder ends and the bare wire begins). Solder is pretty rigid and very small wires can't handle much bending back and forth. Of course if you never ever move the wire it should be OK but, I've had very small wires break after I maneuvered them in place. I haven't had that problem with larger wires. I also use a super heavy duty crimper which crimps much better the the regular ones they sell at HF.
Linerless tape is another "must have", the best thing about linerless tape is that it doubles as a water seal!!
