Paul,
It sounds like your splice is outside the core of T2, so there should be no
problem - it is important that the wire is continuous, but not necessarily
the insulation too. Teflon insulation is used because it has more heat
resistance than other insulation types, plus it is abrasion resistant, so
there is less chance of the insulation becoming damaged during the winding
process.
