Re: Soldering crusty wires

    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?

    Just scrape off the crud with an X-Acto knife.
