Use a methylated sprits (not sure of name in US) burner to remove the enamel
- keep it in the blue part of the flame (the hottest and no soot) and it
should come clean. Use a light rub with emery paper if you think it might be
tarnished. Then tin.
In the UK domestic radio & TV industry we used to strip and tin Litz
wire by heating it over a methylated spirit burner to red heat and then
quickly dipping the wire into a small container of methylated spirit.
This will likely work with enamelled copper wire. A word of caution
though, this procedure makes the copper very soft and likely to break
before it is tinned.
