Hi, all.

As many of you know, I have been gradually getting into the world of working with various types of coax connectors, including crimp/solder connectors from The RF Connection.

One of my best elmers in this regard has been Steve (KW3A).  His patient answers to all of my questions are very much appreciated.

Anyway, I have a question here that I thought was general enough that others on the list might benefit from the various responses I might get.

My     question is what is the safest and most blind-friendly way to tin wire inpreparation for soldering?  In particular, I’m thinking of the center conductor on a piece of coax, and stranded wire that might be used for other purposes.

As always, thanks for any suggestions that anyone comes up with, and, in the meantime, I’ll continue my soldering 101 refresher training here.  (grin)

P.S.  I’m traveling and using my laptop at the current time, so if my responses are a bit slow in coming, that’s why.
