Hi all,

I've never worked with magnet wire before...can anyone tell me the
easiest way to
strip the insulation?


Thanks!

Justin,

I usually just use a razor blade and scrape it off, or use fine sand paper. Then tin it with a soldering iron. You can also burn it off with a lighter or torch then clean the oxide off. I have heard that you can soften the insulation with something like acetone first to make it easier to remove but I have not used that method.
