P3D Splicing Canon remote shutters ...

I've determined that the Canon remote shutter (RS-60E) will fire the Ricoh 
Shotmaster that I have, though it won't pre-focus.  I assume the shutter 
sockets on the Ricoh are only 2 pole, and not 3.  So, I bought 2 of these 
shutters to splice together.  I'm thinking that when I upgrade to a Canon 
Rebel, the same remote will work with that.

However, I'm not sure how best to cover the "Y" connection once I've 
soldered it.  I know heat-shrink tubing will work for a regular connection, 
and may be just find for this.  However, I'd like to find some better way 
to cover the "Y" connection.  Any ideas?  I know there are a bunch of 
shutter hackers out there.

Thanks,

-pd
