I wish I had seen this a year ago. But I’ll know how to do it correctly next time. I hate those compression type connectors. Too many times I have gotten poor or intermittent connections using them. You have an excellent and very helpful channel. After watching your videos on how to use Anderson tubs to get the auto leveling to work, I haven’t had a single problem. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, I'm doing a different tiny project and I now know how to do the T split on my diagram while keeping it insulated for safety. I appreciate it!!

Good morning I really appreciate your video's always informative. I'm a retired electrician and the first shop project I ever did was splicing . Particularly the 5 steps, of the western union splice, which you covered. This is the only method I feel is appropriate for smaller conductors in rough environments as apposed to IDC connections. Again thank you for the video's

Thanks for the video & information! I definitely will be getting some liquid tape for rewiring my jon boat trailer. One observation though. I think that you’ll get much better transfer of heat to the wire if you place the soldering iron under the wire (heat rises).

I'm a bit confused at what the point is here? Solder would be an absolute no go in any environment requiring water resistance, so waterproofing a solder connection seems counter productive and/or pointless, no? Maybe they have different standards in the civil engineering world, but I avoid solder if at all possible, especially in a wet environment.

Why is that?

While it is a better electrical connection, you NEVER solder wires on a boat, or any thing that is subject to movement/jaring... but it works fine in applications were the wires are stationary at all times, and free from vibration.

Those quick-splice connectors potentially damage some of your conductors. I tested some cheap Chinese ones and had a really iffy connection.

Why not just use marine grade heat shrink connectors They already have the sealant inside of them and there's no soldering required.
@RVProject2 жыл бұрын
when you parallel two wires together and cover them with heat shrink, the heat shrink will not seal the gap between the two wires. There is not enough adhesive in the heat shrink to seal the gaps.

@@RVProject the marine connectors I use have a large amount of sealant inside that is activated when heated. It easily seals two wires.

@@kshultz67 The ones I use are good, but I'd like it if there was more sealant for the two wire side. Can you provide a link please?

If you're doing a lot of them or don't have access or time to wait, this is a good option, and those connectors are rather expensive last I checked
