[QUOTE="PC Electrics, post: 76771, member: 650"] If it's non visual, several layers of self amalgamating tape. If visual then a couple of layers of heatshrink. For non insulated crimps I use a layer of glue lined heatshrink on each crimp before final finishing as above. I also stagger the crimps as per pic - ensures no contact between conductors if insulation should ever shrink back and makes the joint less bulky and can use a smaller diameter of heatshrink.
