Homebrew PCBs

If you need to place jumper wires on the PCB and you have to have the 
jumpers insulated,
there is a type of magnet wire that has a type of insulation that 
quickly disintegrates when
the heat from a soldering iron is applied to it.

I don't recall the name of this type of coated magnet wire, but I think 
it is readily available.
I have a bunch of it that I got from old inductances and transformers.
