- Does anyone have a good way to remove enamel (Formvar?) from thin wires? Scraping/sanding works fine for large wires but doesn't work too well for thin wires. Is there a chemical that will do the job

- The usual way it's done with 'modern' enameled wire (possibly not Formvar) is by dipping it in molten solder. A solder pot or the nose of a Hakko 808 desoldering tool works well. Lacking these, a blo

- Joe, There's a small handheld tool made just for this. It looks like the jaws of a large toe-nail clipper with a handle that has a small curve in the bottom to fit the palm back of your hand. You sim

- is by transfer Vic, that's only good for sodereze wire. Sodereze has a low insulation melting point made for low voltage work and or low heat work. You can get that kind of wire from Radio Shack and

- There was an article a while back in Electric Radio that recommended using an asprin, solder, and soldering iron all together. Supposedly takes off the enamel and tins at the same time. 73 Dale K5AJZ

- I'm trying to remember my early days with crystal sets, using recovered wire from transformers - I think it was before self fluxing wire became the norm. I used to use a flame, then clean up with wir

- On the flip side of the coin, I have some Formvar coated wire that is at least 15-20 years old and I find that if I try to wind it into a diameter smaller than 1" it cracks the formvar coating. Is th

- Back when I worked for EIT, I had to build detonators by hand. Essentially they were nothing more than a dc-dc amp with a boost. Anyhow, I used to use a chemical substance that was fairly high pH. I

- Formvar is history. Recycle it and buy some modern, silicone-varnished 200ºC Cu wire from an electric motor rewinding shop. Bring your own empty spool and winder - unless you need a 35-pound rol
