I recall at one time downloading a short video showing the solder
blob method of stripping enamel from wires. I found it to be quite
helpful and believe it was from the Emtech web site, but can't locate
the URL. Perhaps someone on the list has this bookmarked and can
post it.

No it won't but not sure that is going to help you.
What method are you using to tin the leads?
I as well as most others have had great success just burning the
enamel off
with solder and an iron. I keep a 40 watt iron hot and just keep
feeding
fresh solder to it with the winding lead on the iron. The enamel
always
melts and the impurities flow away.
You need to get that coating removed 100%.
Tell us a little more about your technique.

I'm having trouble tinning my toroid leads. In spite
of rigorous cleaning they just don't want to accept
solder ( Kester 44 ). Will adding some paste flux
interfere with electrical qualities of the leads ?
