[QUOTE="PC Electrics, post: 13728, member: 650"] When using insulated crimps, I offset them and then wrap the joint in several layers of self amalgamating tape. When using uninsulated crimps on larger cable sizes I use glue lined heat shrink (from Maplins and elsewhere) around each crimp before using self amalg. If the joint is to be exposed or outside, I'll put on an extra layer of heatshrink over the lot. Also make sure the cable is supported each side of the joint so there's no stress on the joints.
