I don't have any experience with Felxwatt but you could check out Home Depot or Lowes and see if they have anything similar that could be used in a pinch.

Yeah you can get those in the wiring section at home depot or lowes normally, but I don't use them, I solder.

Or if you're confident you can just solder the wire on yourself. This is what I do.

you can use electrical tape if you want but if you want it to look clean see if they have whats called heat shrink they look like little tubes that fit over the wire (just make sure you put them on over the wire and out of the way before you soder). I'm an auto tech and I use them at work, it just looks better when your all done. All in all though either will work.

Shrink tube is great for wire to wire weather proofing but it will not work on flex a watt wiring
You can solder your leads straight to the flex and cover with electrical tape OR if you really want to make sure its covered you can use "liquid" electrical tape BUT its worse that green buggers to get off of everything you drip it on

I always solder the wire to the flexwatt, and then use the liquid electrical tape. It has worked great for me. Like PitOnTheProwl said be careful not to get it on anything that you care about...
