Default Installing Apes....good soldering video for beginners

Hey guys, I'm installing apes and wanted to DIY...

Part of the install is extending wires and being new to soldering I wanted to make sure I did it right. I know there are a lot of videos out there but this one seemed to give both a good explanation and visual. Just don't forget to add the shrink wrap before you solder...

Just thought I'd share...

Wink Heat Shrink Insulated Butt Splices

I use: Heat Shrink Insulated Butt Splices

Heat-Shrinkable crimp butt splices completely insulate and protect electrical connections from water, condensation, salt and corrosion. Provides strain relief and protects against wire pull-out and vibration in the most rugged environments. Qualified to MIL-S-81824/1.


Heat shrink butt connectors are adhesive-lined and color-coded to industry standard wire range. Heat shrink protects against corrosion and the adhesive makes the connector waterproof. Excellent splice for marine, automotive, outdoor, or harsh environment use. The translucent heat shrink allows for visual inspection of the connection, and has the wire gauge printed on it. These connectors have a greater pull strength when compared to vinyl or nylon splices. Rated to 600 volts.
