Answer 6

How fine is fine? Like, telephone wire? maybe 20ga. or thinner ? I would use a wire stripper, which is not an expensive tool. Get one for electronics rather than one for house wiring.

But, if you have a strong thumbnail, which I do, I find that I am often able to strip it simply by pinching it with my thumnail against the pad of my index finger and pulling. The insulation breaks and slides right off.

Answer 7

I use my teeth.
