Use a hair dryer or heat gun to shrink the tubing. All the wires are now insulated. The middle one had nearly an inch of wire that was exposed. They are now ready to be crimped. The bottom wire shows a good angle of how the heatshrink tubing is going to be under the crimping "wing" bits. This looks neat, protects the wiring from shorts, and isn't going to degrade very easily. | Use a hair dryer or heat gun to shrink the tubing ('''Not''' a lighter). All the wires are now insulated.
