If i had only known that Eccostrip and Stripvar were going to become
unavailable, I would have stocked up years ago (thanks, OHSA/EPA).
The alternatives certainly do not beat just brushing a thick liquid
on the end of the wire and wiping it and the enamel off a few minutes
later.

Well, if I want to get really technical, I can always get a set of
HotTweezers, $400 or so new, $50-$75 on Ebay, similar price from
Harold C Fue if I go to the swapmeet when he's there and he has
one. Those things are great for stripping difficult wire, Ebay's
the best bet for the average hobbyist to find one at a good price.

Hi
If you happen to own a Hakko 808 desoldering gun then you can
insert the
toroid wire into the nozzle up to the core on the toroid. Then
feed a little
solder and pull the trigger. The enamel will be stripped off and
the wire
cleaned and tined all at the same time by the rush of air over the
wire.
This whole process takes about 10 seconds and gives perfectly
stripped and
tined leads. The only thing better is to buy them already wound,
stripped
and tined from the toroid guy
