Broken wires from Ionic Breeze (3 images) Can the wire be simply soldered back together ? It would be tricky to clamp into place, but it seems like electrically, this would work, conductivity is the key thing. So my thought is to snip 1/4" from the end of the wire and place it VERY VERY close to the broken (two pieces) then solder them together so that the maximum size increase would be just two wires; that little bead would be able to navigate over the spliced area if you were very careful sliding it ( 2 of them) as you let gravity work on the slide(s). cleaning them. Be sure to see the three images in this post.
