I noticed that with the solder blob method it took a while to start the process going at the end of the wire but once it got started it proceeded much more rapidly.
I then tried pinching the wire to be stripped between some fine grit sandpaper first to break down the enamel with a couple of passes before using the solderblob method. It works great! Not only does the solderblob process start faster but it proceeds much faster up the wire and gives a very nice clean tinned result. No need to get the enamel off with the sandpaper, just a couple of pinch passes to rough it up a bit. Give it a try 73 jim ab3cv _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
