Removing snap splice wire connectors...
When there's a need to remove one of these (blue, far left),
what's the best method for covering the exosed bare wire caused by the connector? I'm thinking that there might be some kind of liquid that solidifies as an insulator... I'm using electrical tape for now, but with a thin wire, in a tight location, I know that I'm not doing a very good job...
Thanks much for your input!

sorry about the pic... here's another one, not the best shot though:
Usually get a small box of these for a couple of bucks...
PARTSMAN109 & Ken, thanks! Something Home Depot should have? I have shrink tubes, but that requires at least one end of the wire to be free... One of the wires in on the coil (removed & sold a shift light)...

To answer the original question, using a piece of electrical tape is good.
You could also use some RTV, which should insulate well and hold up
fine. Just clean the wire with some brake cleaner or alcohol first so that
the RTV adheres well. You could apply it with a small stick or a Q-tip.
