Modern enamelled wire with pink/red insulation is usually self fluxing.

As a radio amateur why do you ask such a question?
In the radio amateur world everything evolves around copper enamelled wire
for coils for every building application.
I am stunned and lost for words

LF,

I have a reel of such wire labelled as follows:

"Wire copper enamelled
Part 1230983 0.71 mm 1/2 kg
Solder only in well ventilated area. Fumes are toxic"

The manufacturer is stated to be Rowan Cable Products Ltd.  I found their

website but don't seem able to get into it to find out whether the covering

of the wire is solderable and (if so)  whether any special techniques are
required.

Can anyone advise, please?
