Phil,
The simplest method is to dip the wire in a solder pot (~500°F, 260°C).
This removes the coating and tins the wire at the same time.  Most 
polyurethanes and nylon coatings are in thermal classes of 105°C, 130°C,
155°C and 180°C which should be removable while immersed in molten solder.
The dwell time will be significantly longer than what is used to tin
temperature sensitive components.
Another method is thermal strippers.
The least favorite and hardest to control is abrasion using an exacto knife.

Anyone have a reliable safe method of removing the polyurethane and nylon
coating that protects magnet wire so that the wire can be used to solder as
a jumper wire.  I remember using a hot chemical salt type stripping bath
many years ago but was hoping that someone has found a better way to do
this since then.
