We do the same. We use magnet wire.

Bruce,
first a uniqum. I've practised. This is a VERY challenging repair method.
Not for people without patience and sharp eyes.
Second, we used a mod wire which had a insulation that was melted and left a tinned and solderable wire. Used for military equipments. Can call my friends for details if you are interested.
