Hi Vito-
Otmar is right - these are best spliced on an angle. I made repairs to
hundreds of tape carts (look a bit like 8 track tapes, used to be used by
radio stations for commercials, etc) using that method. I've also edited
reel-to-reel tape this way, repaired cassettes, and done VHS splices to get
"one last play" out of a dead tape.
Please don't consider a splice a permanent fix - the splices tend to dry out
and let loose after a short period of time. You'll need to make dubs on to
fresh tapes (or whatever media you are using).
The equipment you need isn't expensive, and can be found here:

You may also want to try a store that sells pro audio equipment. I buy my
supplies locally from such a company.
Best of luck!
Cheers,
Steven
