I always figured the enamel should be removed. I just scrape them
with a small razor knife which leaves the copper bright and ready for
tinning. Melting the enamel with my solder iron results in a messy
glob on the iron and not a very clean lead. I don't own a solder pot
but could see that would work except for contamination of the solder
if you do many.
I am mostly winding air coils for VHF equipment, so its what is
normally coating magnet wire.
