In years past, the General Cement Company of Rockford, Illinois,
had a blackish goop they marketed for stripping magnet wire.
Worked extremely well, dip once, let it sit for a minute and the
enamel coating can be seen to actually lift off of the wire. One
wipe and the wire surface is free, ready to solder. Had a
definite acid content from the smell of it (sharp, acrid). The
tradename was either "Strip-X" or "Strip-Var," not sure which
now. :-( Mine was used up years ago, bottle tossed out.

GC Electronics "Strip-X", I assume? I found a MSDS which states that
it's 70% methylene chloride, 25% cresol (isomers of cresylic acid),
around 5% ammonia, plus some wax and thickening agents.

One poster stated that it was designed to work with Formvar
insulation, and might not work as well on the newer Polythermaleze
insulation.

I don't see it in their current catalog... probably gone where the
goblins go, yo ho!
