Have any of you had an occasion to join two 2.0 or 3.0 electric cables

(really, really big) crimper, or a clamp, twist tie (<G>), electrical
tape??????
I've never attempted anything like this. However, I suspect you'll get
a better set of answers if you give a little more information on your
intended applications. Are you trying to make a whole-house extension
cord? Splice a welder cable? Is the connection subject to mechanical
stresses? High voltages?
Assuming I'm thinking of the right general kind of cable, asking in a
welding group, stagecraft group (think tours with lighting dimmer racks
that need to be tied into the house supply), "high-end" car audio group,
or electrical supply house--depending upon the application--might be
more likely to get good info than rec.woodworking. Enquiring about
applicable local electrical codes might also be a good idea.
