Mal - Your solderingskills are as dated as your operating skills. I
believe John was asking for advice on how to do this using MODERN
techniques to ensure his safety and that of his home. The proper way to
solder anything is with proper ventilation thus the person working on
the project is not subjected to the fumes of any kind in the work area.
John - This may sound expensive and complex but can be accomplished
with a run of flexible metal dryer duct with an inline duct boaster
fan. Vent through a nearby window. Visit your local building supply
store as all parts are off the shelf types... The system is portable,
flexible and cheap. Set the fan up to suck the air out the window via
the ducting. Ensure you provide some kind of seal around the open window
so the fumes don't have an easy way to reenter the room. I use an old
blanket to wrap the duct... I'll leave the final arrangement to your
imagination :-)

That is not the correct procedure. To avoid toxic fumes you scrape the

Enamel removing ist much easier done:
Built a solder bubble with the irion and pierce through slowly the bubble
with the wire. The hot solder will melt the enamel
The fume generated is toxic !
Same procedure also valuable for stranded wire (Litze).

Yes
You scrape the enamel from the area to be soldered to reveal the bare
copper
wire then solder in the normal way.

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?
