  • Removing nylon for wire electrodes

    I have some very fine nylon-covered stainless steel wire (48
    gauge). Are tweezers best for removing bits of nylon, or are there other
    tricks of the trade? In particular, I want to be able to make wire
    electrodes with one tip exposed and the other wire exposed en passant (as
    found in Scott and Thompson (1969)). Are there any chemicals which I can
    use to remove the nylon? If you suggest heat, will the residue from the
    oxidation process affect the results? If so, what can I use to remove
    that residue?

    Thanks in advance for any help and I'll be sure to send back a summary of
    what I learn.

    Best,
