So what is the best mechanical technique?

Have you actually tried to solder the wire without removing the enamel
first?

Ron

Of course, if the wire is actually polyurethane-covered (not enamel),
you don't even bother to remove it. It comes off when you tin the ends
(prior to the actual soldering). Even if it is enamel-covered, you may
still be able to remove it by trying to tin it using a very hot
soldering iron (eg Weller #8 bit) - or, at least, after trying to tin
the wire (and apparently failing), the enamel may be crumbly. If so, you
can usually scrape it off with your finger nails.

And how fares Cu metallurgy at/after 800 degree F ?
