Joining two rolls of wire on the secondary coil

Hello!

I'm in the process of winding my 4' x 4" secondary coil and I ran out of 
wire midway.  I have a new roll and I need to connect the new wire to the 
old.  Will there be any negative consequences to soldering the two wires 
together?  Every secondary coil I've seen in pictures looks like it's made 
of one continous wire, so I'm worried perhaps I should have bought a longer 
roll.  I've spent 3 hours winding already and I don't want to go further if 
the solder joint will somehow mess things up.  I can't imagine why it 
would, but this is my first coil and I know squat!

Please help!
Jack
