I try to keep a working wood-burner pencil for jobs that will ruin the tin on my soldering pencil. I often clean the trash off the leads, or pencil, by wiping them with a rag or cloth glove.

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.
