If i have another activity that is more profitable at the time, i will do it. I always save the cutting and stripping for when i have some down time, or in the evenings. It helps me to keep from polishing the couch with my butt so much (do not like to be bored). For me, basically it is a time filler when i have nothing else to do. And if i was not filling that time with retrieving copper my profit would be 0.
