Solder these 2 wires while being able to slip the shrink tubing over the soldered connection

I would like to learn how to solder these 2 wires while being able to slip the shrink tubing over the soldered connection.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Lineman splice looks pretty neat.

Does it work with stranded wire as well?

It does

in cases where the the wire isulation is too thin to hide the bulge caused by the splice I just overlap the wires and bind them together with a fine wire before soldering.

In the photo I see the green heatsink on the black wire it should probably be pushed further away from the join before soldering, but as the black wire is fatter than the white (clear?) wire the heatshrink will probably still be usable if it does start to shrink.
