To be even more 'right' get some solder on the connection. RS used
to sell some 'solder tape' that would make this possible even without
tools or skill -- just wrap the splice in the foily stuff and heat
with a flame. (Start with shiny copper wires)
Heat shrink will delay but not eliminate the oxidation that an
airtight or soldered connection eliminates. It is good stuff even on
a soldered connection though!
