VECTOR: Soldering crusty wires

From: David Shoemaker ( )
Date: Fri Feb 09 2001 - 02:46:56 CST

Working on repairing a choped wiring harness. Striped off the insulation on a couple of the wires and they are brown with oxidation. No way in hell I can get the solder to do anything other than roll off and land on my leg (possibly burning through my pants on the way :)

Anyone have a trick to clean this stuff off well enough to solder?

I am using standard 60/40 rosin core solder.

Thanks,
David
