Default Covering crimps for plastering over

Hi. I want to extend some (2.5mm2) cable and intend to crimp the
connections (using a proper ratchet tool, before anyone says!). The crimps
will then be buried in plaster.

I'll be using the insulated blue butt crimps but would like to know if extra
protection is needed around them before sloshing wet plaster over them.

Cheers
