Squirrel damage - can I safely splice this?

Got a check engine that confirmed I had a spark plug issue. Went in to fix the problem (yes I was going to do all 6) and I discovered a squirrel actually was the cause.

My question is can I splice this wire back together? If so, can a heat butt splice work, 18-14 guage?

Thanks. ​

Working on a background service that resides in a common assembly that runs long running database jobs, sometimes in batches. I've set up a queue that will manage a ConcurrentDictionary for each app with a Channel object for each job start request. It's not an easy bit of code to maintain nor troubleshoot since it resides in that stand alone assembly for other apps to consume. I do hope to turn it into an API at some point but it does work nicer with SignalR this way. This work is an upgrade of the background service from the use of a SemaphoreSlim to better avoid deadlocks on the database side if two jobs from the same app fire off at the same time.

Boss got wind of what I'm trying to do and has asked why are we not using a database table to better manage the queue, just have the background service look if anyone is running (within the same app) every 30 seconds or so in a basic loop (do/while?) and if the job instance is next up, run.

Am I over thinking this? His way will work and would probably be easier to maintain since you just need to truncate the table to clear out any job that may have gotten stuck. Or is there a valid way to explain that the .NET approach is, in fact, best?

I'm trying to determine if it should have some kind of sealant and if this material would be OK if I add it?

This is the bottom of shower.
