[Elecraft] Stripping Enamel Wire (WAS: OT solder pot)

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

If i had only known that Eccostrip and Stripvar were going to become  
unavailable, I would have stocked up years ago (thanks, OHSA/EPA).   
The alternatives certainly do not beat just brushing a thick liquid  
on the end of the wire and wiping it and the enamel off a few minutes  
later.

It takes less time than that to strip this new stuff using either a blob or
a sharp edge. Make it about 10 seconds per lead <G>

My concern with the newer stuff is that the enamel comes off a bit too
easily. When winding transformers it's important not to shed enamel where it
could short the windings.
