Thanks Jim - I'll give that a try. There's some thermocouple wire handy
that'll serve for a test.

no strip hookup wire

Who sells hookup wire that can be soldered without stripping? Typical
use is reworking pc boards. Some magnet wires are of this type, but
solder
at too high a temperature for easy use on a pc board. The ones I've
tried
will loosen the copper if joints aren't made quickly.

Any suggestions for a maker or seller for a wire in the 26 guage
range
would be appreciated.

I use #24 teflon-covered wire. It resists solder, but can be stripped
in tight places simply by "pinching" with needle-nose pliers... very
handy for making tight PCB reworks. At GenRad we called such boards
"blue-wired" for the color of the insulation.

I've used kynar insulated wire wrap wire like that .. the insulation melts
easily under soldering heat, and the wire is available in 26, 28 and 30 AWG.
Find it at most outlets and catalog distributors.

Cheers!!!
