Hi -
A newbie here... I have been really enjoying this forum for several weeks now.
But I have a problem when trying to do some soldering on earbud wires; having trouble stripping insulation. Tried scraping with exacto knife - got a little of it off but solder still barely sticks. The insulation seems to be some kind or lacquer or chemical compound.
How is the best way to strip it. Chemical like acetone or what? Mechanical, some kind of special tool or what???
Thanks,
