[Elecraft] Stripping & Tinning Enameled Wire - Fast, Easy, Reliably

[Gwen Patton]

I'd love to have one of those vacuum desoldering tools. I feel in
techno-lust with them watching Mr. Carlson's Lab on YouTube. I might try
that trick you discovered, but I found that my electronic plasma arc
lighter burns off enamel on anything but the thickest of magnet wire. Hold
the wire with pliers, though, the inductance heats the wire very fast, and
the enamel burns off in a twinkling.

I'd avoid using the plasma arc trick on a toroid already soldered to the
board at the other end. That might let out more than a little bit of magic
smoke.
