Does anybody know of an inexpensive way to join two lengths of

Crimping is probably the most effective but I don't have a crimping

Tying doesn't work because the plastic coating makes it slippery and
it just works loose.

Use another type of knot. In extremis you could also tie tight then
dip the joint in boiling water to soften and slightly deform it.

Indeed. A sheet bend is the one to try
