Gary,
In the interest of obtaining a better tinning of the leads as an end
result, I would suggest that you continue to 'waste solder' and use the
solder blob method.
While a lighter flame will remove the enamel, in my experience that
technique leaves a residue that inhibits tinning the leads.
It is the tinned lead that is the end goal - without proper tinned
leads, one will end up with a malfunctioning transceiver.
