how do you tin silk covered litz wire ?

[Pat Pending]

As an emergency repair on a tone arm I once used the contents of an earbud cable with the outer stripped away, it tinned with just a hot iron, the "customer" is a local DJ, and even after three years he tells me that the dance floor repair still works, wish I'd charged, who else goes to a wedding reception with a portasol iron in their top pocket?

Cheers,
Andy.
