UPDATED (I found 1 usefull way to do it. There is also alot of other possible ways to do it if you read through the thread):
-Take each single copper wire apart from each others.
-Put the wire 10-20 minutes in salt acid 30% which can be bought from local hardware store cheap.
-Use protection glasses.
-Use toilet paper or something and clean the rest of the salt acid away, you will also see alot of dirt coming off, get it all off.
-In my case, the tin wouldnt just float on, but when I applied solder flux it came on like if it was made for it, which it also am
I have this old wire from 1991 and it is from an old jetski. The wire are not to be changed.
I need solder on the end, but I find it impossible. I tried for two hours, I tried to use a knife and scratch the black colour off, I have no better tool for that. I also tried to place it in gas, no clue if that should help but it didnt. At last I put it in a glass of cola and dropped salt xD have to try something.
I have no flux, but my tin is with flux inside.
What can I do? I am going nuts to be held back in my project at this point because of something this annoying![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
