How about Brasso?  We always used it to clean copper cable stubs at Farinon
before shipping the microwave radio racks to the field, where the copper
would be terminated in a punch down block.  Stuff worked great... and on
pennies in our pockets as well!

I was wondering if anyone had a simple method for removing the
tarnish off stranded #14 copper wire that has had the THNN insulation
removed in several areas? I will need to solder to these areas and
the tarnish will not allow normal 60/40 Rosin core to flow.

I am hoping for some home "remedy" or simple mixture that does not
involve some complex chemicals or procedures that can be applied on,
brushed then rinsed off. TU 73
