quick question (crimped joint)

[andy]

supose a T&E is cut and needs fixed. its inaccessable so you crimp it. now, is covering the joint in rubber self amalgamating tape acceptable or do you need more?

Amalgamating tape is fine, or heatshrink will do.

ive been nowhere. just got sick of the place so left. there was a thread about it but the mods soon deleted it

If you heat shrink each individual wire, do you then need to protect the whole connection? (I'm wondering as the grey outer 'wrapper' is now gone.) If so, is more tape permissible? Or does it need something else?
