I have heard that Toulene is a good solvent for dissolving varnish. Just submerge the areas of the wire you want the varnished removed. I would think about 1/2" if you inserting it into solderless spade connectors. After the toulene I would immerse it in Lemon juice and then in tomato juice and see if you set a nice shinny copper look then crimp the end strands tightly and tin with solder. A pencil eraser is a good cleaner to scrape the varnish off with. The solvent alone is not gona hack it. Its gona take elbow grease. Cordially James
