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.


For prototyping work I often use enamelled copper wire in 26swg or thinner.
The coating that works best for me is the pinker one. It is even easy to
solder down at a kink in the wire for wire-through connections. The trick
is to just tin the very end before putting it down to the board.

Note that some of the enamel coatings are not so easy to burn off.
