1. strip a small wire (20-24 go) and bare about 4 inches and leave a insulation tag for wrap.
2. tack solder the stripped tin wire end to the wire to be spliced.
3. place large wires parallel and wrap with small stripped wire to hold big wires in place
4. saturate with solder. Remove tag.
5. no special tools needed.
