What is the best way to deal with the fibre strands and to tin the wire?

Thanks,

Wire-wrap was considered an adequate technique for a decade.
2 pieces of very fine stripped wire, lay alongside each one , ends laying
together, a microdot of hotmelt glue on the ends and then when cool gives
something to twist between fingers, then coat with more hotmelt as
insulation. No actual soldering
