The twist method is here

Another is soldering them overlapped.

I always get a few strands sticking out and piercing the heat shrink tubing...maybe it's takes better technique but is there a mechanical lug that can hold the two ends togehter that can be soldered? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

I don't particularly like the FLAPS plastic covered connectors but I'm told I may not be compressing them correctly. Besides in a confined area with alot of wires, the connectors take up alot of room...

What are you doing succesfully?
