Hi
We use 3M Scotchlok crimps to join wires, or seal the ends. They aren’t the cheapest but they are 100% reliable and waterproof as when you crimp them they release the built in silicon which seals everything. We have a tool for crimping them which keeps both sides of the jaws parallel so they crimp evenly but you can easily use pliers as long as you make sure the whole ‘button’ is evenly pushed in.
Think we get them from Europoint.

Agree 100% with Macky on this one we use the same method. You can buy small quantities on eBay to test make sure you get the crimping tools as this is designed to apply right pressure.
