The THWN I used was stranded and I used silicone filled wirenuts where

Rather than using wirenuts I'd recommend crimped butt splices covered

Or liquid electrical tape - that's some good stuff for places where the
tubing isn't an option. I have used both in some cases just because I
have both in my shop.
