Louis Rossmann uses Remington single-strand enameled copper magnet wire (he sells it on his site if you want to look up the details: https://store.rossmanngroup.com/index.php/soldering-diy/helpful-tools-extras/jumper-wires.html). Note that the he uses very small wire (usually 40 AWG, sometimes 34 AWG) for his work. Be sure to purchase an appropriate size for the current the wire will be carrying. |

If your ordering from Digikey your probably looking for Tinned hook up wire .Can be either silvered .nickel ed or tinned solid or stranded. I just call it Alpha Wire but of course that is a brand name. https://www.digikey.ca/products/en/cables-wires/single-conductor-cables-hook-up-wire/474?k=&pkeyword=&sv=0&v=216&sf=0&FV=-8%7C474&quantity=&ColumnSort=0&page=1&pageSize=25 |

You see him scraping at it with the iron tip in videos to get the solder to stick. With the correct stuff the hot solder will remove the coating effortlessly without any scraping needed. |
