Abrading the wire to remove oxidation

Immediately after abrading the wire, a fresh layer of non-flammable oxide inhibitor is applied over the entire exposed wire to prevent fresh oxidation.

Applying the anti-oxidant

It is imperative that the anti-oxidant used is non-flammable since many brands available on the market are actually quite flammable.
