Heat shrink tubing is great stuff!
In the past whenever I had to solder two wires together, I would wrap duct tape (sticky, gooey stuff) over the joint in order to prevent accidental 'shorting' when the exposed joint touched the wrong wire.
On my previous layout, ChrislenaBahn, I had a short once which cost me 2 months to isolate and remedy. It was a most frustrating time as I could not run any trains as the safety feature of the system would always kick in and power off the layout. I certainly don't want this sort of situation ever to occur again.
So these days, I heat shrink any joints to avoid accidents.
