I have a lot of enameled pieces of copper wire to deinsulate. About 5mm long deinsulation at both wire ends. I dont want to deinsulate the entire wire, only its ends, ok?
The methods I used so far, for a very long time (tens of years), was to use a flame, or a knife to scratch the insulation. But because the wire I deal with is very thin, I can do 1 piece of wire at a time and it takes like 5 minutes until I finish both ends with the knife, which is very clean and precise job that I get from using it. But it takes some extra effort and time to do it and pain in my palm muscles if im doing too many pieces.
I want a CHEMICAL idea! A liquid that will melt or dissolve only the enamel of the wire, but not attack the copper, very important. I thought on acids, but they will eat the copper. Some sort of solvent specific for enamel.
I will try every idea you may have.
Thank you !
