Alas, GC no longer makes Strip-X. They say that it was "not =
environmentally
friendly". No kidding. Anyone know of any commercial substitutes? Maybe =
a
killer paint stripping compound?

GC Electronics makes a product called Strip-X for stripping enamel from
wire.  You coat the wire with the compound, let it sit a bit, and then =
wipe
off the varnish.  The stuff works quite well for most types of enamel =
but
Formvar(r) takes more time to soften.  The stuff stinks, so you want to =
use
it where there's ventilation.  I haven't used the stuff in 20 years, but =
I
see on the web that it's still out there.

Wire strippers.  Don't use a lighter.  Wrecks the wire.
