Nothing like winding half of secondary/resonator and accidentally using
too much force - resulting in wire snapping.. Or noticing that the cheap
spool of wire doesn't have a continuous piece of wire but several
pieces..
I have several times used solder to fix the situation above and it has
worked well every time. I do first hammer the ends of wires flat, apply
solder to one side, use a clamp to press the flats together and apply
heat
to get a good soldering. After this I have a nice connection (about
20mm)
which is flat. I do then use file and finishing paper to reshape the
connection into a round shape. After this (it look like there is no
connection) I do apply a thin layer of epoxy on top of the connection
to
replace the originally removed insulation.
This does not work well on very thin wires though :) but something like
0.6 mm dia wire is not a problem.
