Just in case anyone else is interested...
Take the two wires to be spliced and lay them together, so they form a
single straight line (Check out the art!). The pigtail would have the wires
lying side by side - this method has them forming a better connection.
Twist the two ends of wire around one another until you form a slight knot.
Tug to tighten. BTW, be sure you have the shrink tubing on the wires before
you splice! Been there, done that...
