> If you have a Hakko-style soldering pump similar to the Model 808, its
nozzle (ordinarily used for desoldering) makes a great way to heat and apply
solder to the varnished leads to remove varnish and tin them quickly.

> Prior to using that technique (recently suggested on this reflector),  I
used a combination of candle or butane- lighter flame, fine-grit sandpaper
and an occasional light coating of flux to get the job done to my
satisfaction.

> Whatever method you adopt just be sure that the finished solder joints are
completed with a proper "wet" look, and measure their resistance to the PCB
board. Obviously, be sure to remove any residual traces of flux that may
remain behind too.
