[Elecraft] Toroid enamel covering

[f9oj.7]

Hi
Someone on the list some time ago gave a very efficient way for cleaning the
wire, but you need a desoldering iron with a "sucker" tip. You prepare a
good blob of solder which you suck inside the tip, then slip an inch or so
of your enamelled wire in the tip, wait 5 or ten seconds and you press the
button of your desoldering iron, which sucks in both solder and enamel, and
you can retrieve a perfect tinned end of your wire.
I hope you get what I mean. I should add that a Hakko or other brand of
desoldering iron is a most useful tool in a ham shack.

  I am curious about the removal of toroid wire enamel covering material in
preparation for winding. Is it essential that bare wire not touch the toroid
ring?
