I would recommend sanding the enamel off about 1/8 of an inch on each 
end, aligning the wire ends, and taping them to something flat while you 
solder them (so they join perfectly aligned).  Then sand or shave off the 
excess solder so that there will be no bulge in the winding, and 
re-enamel by dipping the junction in polyurethane.
