The way I did it was to take a short piece of solid copper wire, file it
down until it fit insude the copper tubing, and then I used a 300 Watt
soldering gun to heat the tubing enough to solder across the joint. Then I
buffed the joint a little with some fine sandpaper to smooth it out. Worked
great. I'd try to find wire that already fits inside the copper tubing
though, because all the filing gets a little tedious ;)
