  • @plantraco what temp is your iron set at?

  • Hey: great video my I ask what solder you use and the temp of your iron I can't seem to tin my 36 gauge enamel coated wire any tips would be helpful

    Thanks

  • I just use a razor blade, and gently strip it.

  • What are the specs. on this magnet wire? What is the temperature rating and insulation type?

  • This method does not work for 200-240 deg C rated polyimide magnet wire.

  • Lighter will overheat the wire and temper it making it brittle aswell as imbeding soot and converting a large amount of the copper to oxides, wile doing it with a bead of molten solder will not. Solder will allso act as a protective coating preventing oxidization. Not to mention wire leads need to be pretinned anyways so might aswell do both at once.

  • Wouldn't using flame will oxidize the copper while removing the insulation? This method should seal while it strips.
