Hugo,
    Yea, sandpaper works pretty good on enameled wires, you don't run the
chance of nicking the wires. Another process I have used is to run the wire
through the flame of a match or lighter. This will burn the insulation off,
leaving a charred residue on the wire that can be easily removed.
    I only do the flame trick as a last resort because I don't know if heating
the wire up like that weakens it or makes it brittle.
    Maybe someone with more or a metallurgy background would know for sure.
