Remember Vector's "wiring pencil?" 
<http://www.piclist.com/techref/pcbwires.htm> You used it to wire a 
breadboard with #32 enameled wire. Once you wrapped the wire around a 
pin, you applied a soldering iron and solder, which melted the enamel to 
allow a good solder joint.

I still have mine, and used it just a few weeks ago to wire an Arduino 
breadboard.
