No it won't but not sure that is going to help you.

What method are you using to tin the leads?

I as well as most others have had great success just burning the enamel off
with solder and an iron. I keep a 40 watt iron hot and just keep feeding
fresh solder to it with the  winding lead on the iron. The enamel always
melts and the impurities flow away.

You need to get that coating removed 100%. 

Tell us a little more about your technique.

        I'm having trouble tinning my toroid leads. In spite 
      of rigorous cleaning they just don't want to accept
      solder ( Kester 44 ). Will adding some paste flux
      interfere with electrical qualities of the leads ?
