You can solder the two lengths together, but you have to be sure that the
splice doesn't create a bump that might act as a breakout point.  The  two
ends need to be scraped bare and lie flat against the coil form and parallel
to each other, with a minimum amount of solder joining them.

I am a total beginner just starting to build my first coil.  I went out and
bought #22 wire - 2 pounds of it.  However, I bought it in 2 one-pound
spools. 
I didn't even think about it until I got ready to wind the secondary.  Can I
solder the ends together to get enough turns or did I waste my money?
