Heat tape questions

[whispersinmyhead]

I got some of the thg heat tape and rivet connectors. my plan was to put the rivets in and then solder around them to give it extra strength. but after crimping them with linemans pliers the hold seemed plenty strong enough so i just left em as is.

Did you parallel wire? If so could you fit two wires in each ring type connector? I do t think they will be big enough.
