Thank you for all the responses and suggestions. Yes, I meant
stranded wire.

But to everyone who no-no'd covering the junction box with drywall,
what
do you suggest I do about this junction box:

Don't worry about it. The Code requires that all junction boxes be
"accessible". In this case, the junction box is "accessible" by
removing the
fixture can from its frame.


I suspect this restriction is so the connections are easy to locate
if there is a fire. But, as a volunteer fireman, I can assure you that
during the fighting of a fire we are not going to be looking for a
junction box as one of the first things we do is shut the main power.
I think this is just another "feelgood" clause inserted by some desk
jockey.
