the shrink tube is cosmetic
it doesn’t really aid in the electrical property
You're right drummer. I was merely doing that part as cosmetic even though it would be hidden under a piece of Velcro. You just saved me some money because I didn't have that size on hand. Thanks.
Excuse me for stepping into this. If you're splicing two sections of wire, my preference is a Western Union splice. Great for solid core. Not so good with stranded. Overkill? Solder after you splice. As for shrink wrap, it provides electrical insulation. It isn't merely cosmetic. Two other options: Liquid Electrical Tape or good old #33 3M Tape.
