Twist the relatively clean wires together (just to stop them moving
apart) and put the tip of the twist into the reducing cone of the
flame briefly until a very small ball appears, then withdraw.
Depending on the wire thickness and flame size it can take from the
briefest dip in/out to a second or so. I usually hold the wire by hand
and dip it into the flame, but I have held the wire an inch or too
from the end in a small vice and brought the torch up to it.
