So, I went ahead and installed butt connectors on the mismatched wires using some die-electric and this F4 self fusing silicone tape. I am very happy with the resulting joints. 
I had never seen the F4 tape until about a year ago. I went ahead and tried it on a power supply for my laptop that kept breaking the wire where it flexes. This stuff sticks like feathers on honey and has kept my power wire in tact since January when I did the repair. This stuff is pretty cool!

That is great tape, I wrap fittings that I want to keep from unscrewing like sink or hot water connections. It is good at sealing leaks under pressure but you have to put multiple wraps and and good spread on each side of the leak. Rescue Tape is what it is also marketed by.
