Post by: DubbleDutch on July 02, 2008, 05:59:57 AM: as long as you can solder it to the leds there is no problem

Post by: Timmy on July 02, 2008, 06:27:06 AM: no problems man

the main thing you have to watch for when it comes to thickness is voltage rating as it could burn out if its rated lower then what your using

but 32 AWG should be able to handle any voltage you will come across when modding a PSP as i've used 0.1mm magnet wrap with no issues so i don't think you'll have any problems :D

you can easily strip the wire with your soldering iron ;)
don't forget to clean the soldering iron after it.

thanks for the welcome.. :tup:

@dubbledutch
thanks for the info, its a good idea.. :clap:
Title: Re: Can i use 32 AWG kynar wire??
Post by: DubbleDutch on July 04, 2008, 06:35:17 AM: just put the wire on the iron

then put a knife on the wire, and then slide the wire away from the iron (be sure to keep pressing a little bit with your knife

so the insulating will get off the wire.

Post by: Blazinkaos on July 09, 2008, 06:38:47 AM: i use a different way to remove the insulating from the wire. I just dip part of it in the flux then the solder just burns it off perfectly for me.
