[Elecraft] Neurotic about Toroids

I am still considering what my *grown up* rig will eventually be after I've outlived my 
*first* rig .  I always seem to go back to the K2 and that is where my head and heart 
are.  But the devil keeps popping up, whispering in my ear that I'll never be able to 
strip and mount so many toroid coils (and that I'll probably zap an IC).

My main worry is with the stripping process.  The recommended method is the 
melted solder thing where you tin and strip at the same time.  But how do you know 
you have not tinned the enamel, since the whole thing is covered in solder?
