Vic, that's only good for sodereze wire. Sodereze has a low insulation
melting point made for low voltage work and or low heat work. You can get
that kind of wire from Radio Shack and other places. Formvar and others
require a tool to remove it with. The industrial strippers for this use two
wire brush wheels meshed together and turning in opposite directions. You
stick the wire in the two brush wheels and it abrades the insulation off.
Those are expensive though. The small hand stripper is the best bet for low
volume work like I use. If I can find one, I'll post the link to it.
