About 50 years ago I= was thoroughly trained in workshop practice by Standard Telephones & Cable= s. One of my mentors was G3HJL. He made sure I learned the =93scrape it off= =94 method of dealing with enamelled wire. My original posting came about because I noticed that a recently acqui= red reel of enamelled copper wire seemed to have a coating which was of li= ghter colour and more shiny than I was familiar with. I tried soldering it= with my normal temperature controlled iron (Maplin BP53) but this was not= very successful. I do have an instant heat iron which is labelled 150 W (I= don't believe it =96 I think it is probably 50 W) so I will try that. 73 John F5VLF PS Victor: what do the words "posijn" and "povin" mean please? My (sm= all) Dutch-English dictionary does not contain them
