Hi again! I'm a newbie to scrap metal, so please bear with me here! I was wondering what how you all handle copper wire as scrap. I tried an experiment in stripping tonight with snips, a utility knife and a wire stripper, and the large car battery cable stripped nice and easy, but I gotta tell you, the smaller stuff like the computer power cord was not fun, and I didn't even try the old phone wire I had lying in the basement.
I can see cutting off all of the heavy, out cover, but it doesn't seem worth it to strip the smaller plastic inner insulation on the individual wires. What do you guys strip, and what do you leave the plastic insulation on?
Thanks again!
