Look for a source of magnet wire (for winding coils, transformers, and
motors). These come in sizes from quite heavy down to too thin to be
manually used; some have melting tyoe insulation that can be soldered
without mechanical stripping.

If you can't find that, General Cement used to make a liquid called
"Strip-X," sold in 1 ounce botttles by electronic suppliers, that
removed baked varnishes and enamels.
