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.

The code requires junction boxes for splices to prevent fires from
occurring due to faulty connections, and requires them to be
accessible, so electricians can make repairs. OTOH, people who put
out fires, tend to use axes, not screwdrivers to do their job


Bingo!

Bingo what? That doesn't make your faulty opinions any more valid.
