I have not tried end splicing a cable as small as a trim cable. It will take a great deal of patience and practice. I would practice on some test pieces before tackling the final product. Google is your friend. Try "cable splicing". I came up with this:
and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPaayLAS-lA Granted the video is of splicing rope. The method is the same.

Good luck and please report back with your result.

I have never done it either... However, I watched a local guy that we hired splice a 3/8 continuous cable for our revolving hanger floor... Fascinating process... The splice itself is within 30 feet or so of the 163 foot loop of cable...

Kenny Cassens tried to teach me a Navy Tuck splice on 1/8" cable when I hung around the Aerodrome. Mine never looked like his but he had been doing it for years. I do remember that I never knew that my hands could bleed from so many places.
