What happens here

Once the wires are twisted and inserted into the solder and seal connectors, use a lighter or heat gun to apply heat directly to the metal ring in the center of each connector. The heat will melt the solder, creating a strong electrical connection, and simultaneously shrink the clear tubing of the connector, sealing and insulating the splice. Continue applying heat until the solder visibly melts and flows, and the tubing shrinks snugly around the wires.

Goal: Permanently join and insulate the wire connections.

opposite directions get that rolling right there grab our lighter start going over the whole thing the lighter is going to create a little bit of a soot it's no problem it wipes off just keep moving it and it's all going to seal together so if we just give it a second and let it cool down you can see that all that lead has melted in there and it's got these nice and secured up you can wipe some of that soot away you can see totally a little city
