One wire at a time, solder and glue filled heat shrink, no better way IMO.

Might be old fashioned, but it's tried, tested and proven

Ive got the dreaded green stuff, not too bad but I've found my usual heat shrink isn't always damp proof if you get me? Glue lined sounds more 'dampproffery' to me

Got the plier things, think it was Alan who put me on to them a few months back. What's the most used size for those solder melt things on the kick panel white plug wires? Think I'll get some anyway and see which turns up first and use them.

The crimps are not as good as solder and glue filled heatshrink, BT and other telecom companies use them cos they are quick but they do sometimes fail.

While I'm waiting for this heat shrink stuff to arrive is there any other connections that give bother and are worth looking at or even cutting out?
