REMOVING ENAMEL COATING
Scott Wrote:
There's a paint-and-finish stripper of a similar name (Klean-Strip Strip-X) available these days. Like the wire-"Strip-X" it contains methylene chloride, but it has no cresol or ammonia. Its other ingredients include toluene, xylene, and methanol, plus a thickener (it's relatively goopy and would probably have to be wiped off of the wire using a paper towel or Q-tip or something like that). These chemicals all come with fire- and health-hazard warnings... if you use 'em, do so with proper care and precautions! I just put a glob of solder on the soldering iron tip and dunk the enameled wire into it until the enamel melts and the solder tins the end of the wire. Been doing that for over 20 years now...seems to work A-OK. Scott N0EDV Thanks Scott - I forgot that technique - Yes it does work - sometimes when you get some age on your brain, it tends to lose some of the lesser used items. - Best 73's de Howard W3CQH Glad to help out! I have "halfzheimers"....I've only forgotten HALF of what I used to know! It's probably due to the paint stripper we've been inhaling for all those years. Out of all the possible ingredients, I'm blaming it on the thickener. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK 'In Practice' columnist for RadCom (RSGB) http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek |
