I cannot pretend to be so wise as some on the net, but I do have a small note to make when splicing the #18-on-down size wires, especially when in crowded corners – I seem to specialize in wiring myself into a spiralling corner.....  

        In radio I learned long ago you can’t find the size you need to join two wires. I hit upon the model aircraft shops for copper/brass tubing which is nesting in size around these smaller wires. It’s a pain to cut the tubing and smooth the ends so that fine wire can enter so I do this in tens at one time when the conditions dictate, either this or reading a good book. For a couple of bucks and a warder file plus small-tooth saw, you can have a pocketful of crimpable lengths just lying there waiting for redemption. The simple crimper slides easily into tight spaces, and we’re not welding power cable here.  

        Just a thought.

Try rolling a small copper/ brass/ali tube  under a sharp blade, for perfect results in seconds.
