Conductor repair

I have come across an socket outlet which has had the insulation on a neutral wire repaired with heat shrink, it looks like the socket screw has damaged it previously.
Would this be an acceptable repair?

  • As many as you want Ebee. The solder should be only holding the wires together and protecting the joint. If you saw one on a spacecraft, there is almost no solder, just enough to hold the joint together. They worry about weight to the milligram!
