String lights in resin lamp

[Blue Tarheel]

Made a table lamp using string lights embedded in epoxy resin connected two pieces of cedar. I allowed the string lights to get to close to the edge when I poured the epoxy resin.  Thus when I sanded the sides, some of the wires were broken.  For example there are bare wires protruding.

This is a very involved project that I want to salvage.  Could I solder the exposed wires on the outside of the epoxy and regain the continuity?  Another option is to try to remove the epoxy around the wires, but I do not think that would be possible because I bent the wiring into each crevice.  It resembles a spiderweb in disarray.  Any suggestions other then throw it away and start anew?

If you could make a slight indentation or groove  at the wires with a Dremel like power tool perhaps you could fill it with  conductive epoxy?  Silver based epoxy is best but expensive.

Thank you.  The link was interesting (although I had to do research to understand the table).  I have ordered conductive adhesive and copper tape.  We shall see.
