[Elecraft] Advice needed on stripping enameled wire

[Jim Miller]

I noticed that with the solder blob method it took a while to start the 
process going at the end of the wire but once it got started it proceeded 
much more rapidly.

I then tried pinching the wire to be stripped between some fine grit 
sandpaper first to break down the enamel with a couple of passes before 
using the solderblob method.

It works great! Not only does the solderblob process start faster but it 
proceeds much faster up the wire and gives a very nice clean tinned result.

No need to get the enamel off with the sandpaper, just a couple of pinch 
passes to rough it up a bit.

Give it a try
