linking flexwatt??

[silent_truth]

Well, once again an incident to prove that I severely lack mathematical skills. I incorrectly counted the number of feet of heat tape I required for a rack tonight and cut the strip of heat tape one foot off. Now that's fine because I got the 5 ft I needed for one rack, but now I have 4 ft and a single piece 1ft in length. Is there any possible, safe way of linking two pieces of heat tape together? Could it be soldered together by any chance?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
