Just as a slight twist [no pun intended] your method of intact wire stripped back and wrapped around can be slightly modified into a full military splice for 12ga-24ga wires.. I would imagine you could to this to a 10 or even an 8ga wire but there are better methods for those gauges.

While the wire is stripped back, a pin tool or even a tip of a test light is used to pierce between the wires and create a "hole" per say [Post pics tomorrow of a job demo] offset of the direction the wire is indented to run to its circuit.

Strip the new wire 0.75"-1.00", threading it through the hole and begin to wrap the wire around the bare wire until you encompass the stripped back portion. In case you stripped back to far, you can trim this excess off if necessary. Then follow up with your solder work.

At this point you can either cover with appropriate sized heat shrink or if you're down to basics; we ALWAYS have a roll of 3m's 33+ electrical tape and proper tape job with a small 4" cable tie around the center of the soldered connection point works very effectively even in cold or hot weather.

Hope that helps further.
