Thanks to everyone who submitted suggestions on removing the baked enamel
insulation on magnet wire when trying to install a toroid. Apparently a
flame will take the insulation off. So will a compound called Strip-X from
GC Electronics. One of the most inventive solutions was submitted by
YO3CTK, Mike:
>Hi Charlie,
>Have you tried to use an Aspirin tablet ? I'm not joking ! Just press
>the end of the wire with your hot soldering iron against an Aspirin
>tablet. Be prepared for some nasty fumes, though. The enamel will peel
>off the wire. After that, clean the wire and be sure to use a resin core
>solder to tin the end of the wire, because the burnt residue is
>corrosive.
>Please let me know if the operation will be a success.
>73 de Mike, YO3CTK
Again, thanks to everyone who replied.
73,
Charlie, W0YG..>>
