The method you describe could cause you problems and in certain circumstances could cause a fire. In connecting a severed extension cord back together again the purpose is to bring the insulation value back to its original value. The severed cord ends should cut back to expose the conductors. The proper connecting device should be a "crimp butt splice" sized to fit your wire size of the cord. Stagger these splices along the wires you are reconnecting so they are not parallel to each other and create a large lump in the cord. Over these splices a rubber amalgamating tape should be used to fill the voids around the wires and to bring the diameter back to the original outer diameter to the cord. Over the rubber tape should be wound PVC electrical tape. Double wrap the tape from one end of the splice to the other end of the splice and back again. This repair will give you many more years of service from the cord with out any problems.
