Stripping very thin wire

[sandy]

Soldering Iron...........as long as it's not PTFE
Usually works for me, cut the end to expose some wire to conduct the heat in, blob of solder & bobs your uncle

Thats another good way to do it I do that as well. But lighter is faster if the iron is not plugged in.

Tiny wires now soldered and lights working. Honestly, they were about the thickness of two hairs. Thanks for all the tips everyone.
