30ga Kynar wire-wrap insulation withstand rating?
I commonly use 30ga Kynar (Polyvinylidene Fluoride, PVDF) wire for PCB <=24 VDC repairs.
But can it be used to repair 120 VAC signal wires?
Strangely, vendors do not seem to publish a voltage rating for Kynar…

Small Wire gauges
I would like to determine the wire gauge of small, Cu, multi-strand wire. Between 18 and 32 AWG. I can count the # of strands and measure the diameter of the wire strands with a micrometer. But what I can't do is figure out the AWG. Is there an app…
