I have been fine tuning my loops for heads and leader connections but have run into some problems.
I found juro's instruction:

I like this method, but my biggest problem is stripping the outer coating off the line. On T-14 I have no problem, the coating comes off and I'm left with the mono core. On rio tips, which appear to have a braided core, I've had more problems.
I'm trying to avoid the nail polish trick.
I tried wire strippers but they all seem to large to strip the type 6 and 8 tips.
On the T-14 I've built some nice loops and really like the technique.
Any advice out there ?
