Dear Elecrafters:

I have devised an elegant method that always produces perfect results with 
very little effort. A high vacuum heated desoldering tool is required. 
First, form a big glob of solder on the tool's end. Next, insert the toroid 
lead through the blob and into the nozzle up to the desired depth. Finally 
hit the vacuum and slowly pull the lead out of the nozzle. That's it. A 
perfectly tinned lead.

Good luck.
