And you can just jam the point of a soldering pencil down
into a "rats nest" and not melt a bit of insulation!
Yes! But, I didn't want to rub that in to homebrewers. :-)
Sigh, I'm way overdue for searching electronic dumps for teflon covered
wire...old nylon-jacketed PVC is still old and still melts.
At a hamfest on Sunday, a trader was selling teflon insulated
silver-plated stranded hookup wire in two sizes, as "aerial wire". I
bought 50 metres, but by no means all of it is going up in the air.
Len, you said it "strips easily"... well, maybe I haven't found the
right kind of wire strippers yet. What kind do you use?
[I'm secretly glad no one remarked on the extra T in 'insulation,' that
would be instigation of insulting the insulation installation... :-) ]
Would we ever do such a thing?
