Just a couple of weeks ago there were several posts on this subject. 
Several people reported good success soldering the ends together. One 
method in particular recommended that you clean both ends very well and 
file or sand each end at a 45 degree angle and put them together and wick 
solder the joint. If you wipe the joint with a wet rag while it is still 
hot, you should get a very clean smooth joint. Then insulate the joint well 
with your glyptol and wind on. Never, never put holes in your secondary 
form or put any wires inside the secondary!!! I'm sure some of the kind 
people with actual experience splicing small gauge wires will post you some 
advice. If not, I hope this helps. Good luck.
