Title of the message:
Re: Using Splicers and Tap Connectors with Aluminum Wiring instead of Twist On Wire Nuts?

Text of the message:
I am not convinced there is any "safe" way to fix this problem short of
replacing the offending wire.
Keep in mind that the problem wire is not the aluminum wire that is
commonly used today in larger sizes, but the small gauge wire once used
to wire up branch circuits in homes.
i think you realistically have two choices - one is to bite the bullet
and replace the wiring.  The other is to leave it alone.  As an amateur
you are likely to makke the situation worse rather than better.
