Hello John,
I think this are dutch terms,posijn is the polyurethan kind that you can
solder directly with a hot iron.Povin is much older than that and you need
to srape it off,

Onderwerp: LF: Re: Soldering enamelled copper wire
LF,
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. About 50 years ago I was
thoroughly trained in workshop practice by Standard Telephones & Cables. One
of my mentors was G3HJL. He made sure I learned the “scrape it off” method
of dealing with enamelled wire.
My original posting came about because I noticed that a recently acquired
reel of enamelled copper wire seemed to have a coating which was of lighter
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 – I think it is probably 50 W) so I will try that.

PS Victor: what do the words "posijn" and "povin" mean please? My (small)
Dutch-English dictionary does not contain them
