Jjrbuss,
Congratulations.
I always state the smallest wire size I think is safe because I have had some jobs where the copper was most of the cost of the job. But, as I used to tell clients - "You only have to buy the copper once. If you don't buy enough, you will be paying for that forever."
Where I had connections that I were exposed, I did one of two things.
Either I made sure all the connections were full of silicon grease or other stuff to prevent internal corrosion.
Or
If it was something that some never have to come apart again, I use liquid electrical tape. I think you can get it a big boxes, if not then Amazon for sure.
