Sand the enamel off the two ends to be joined (about an inch). File equal flats
on each end. It should look something like this (fixed width font):

With a soldering iron, tin each end, then solder together. Sand away excess
solder. Dip joint into polyurathane building to a similar build as the original
insulation. Be careful to not overstress the joint to a lot of movement. 

Take care,
