Spoiler: Tinning the wire at 400ºC, instead of my normal 300ºC, is what worked best for me.

Enameled wire (magnet wire) can be a great tool for repair work directly on boards. Through trial and error I figured out how to make it work well for me, and now I'm sharing that with you.

I'll show the good results you can get when you

* Solder at 400º C (convenient and works well)
* Strip with an X-Acto knife (tedious but... exact)
* Strip with sandpaper (tedious and not as clean)

I also show some of the ISSUES you run into when you

* Solder at 300º C
* Solder at 450º C
* Solder enameled wire without striping

This is an "amateur hour" video. In other words, I go through step by step in real time so that you can catch the nuances of my successes and learn with me through my mistakes.
