Heat the tip in a gas stove ring while gripping the top coil in pliers spanning the two wires and squeezing
It will soon soften and the coil will close under the pressure of the pliers.
Cool down by dipping in the nearby washing up bowl of cold water then clamp in a vice and file flat and smooth
Finish with 400 grit to get a nice glossy finish
This works for me
Cheers

Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
