I just finished removing all the copper from a mess of refer compressors I had laying around. All the copper is nice and clean looking but has varnish on it. My question is will I get at least #2 copper price for it with the varnish intact? I broke all the pieces up real good so they're not all clumped together. I also made sure no plastic, paper, string or other waste got mixed in. I've heard some people say I can get bright and shiny price for it, others say #2, i,ve also heard its priced the same as insulated wire. Is there a way to remove the varnish w/o burning. I don't like the idea of burning it and letting off a bunch of smoke and fumes. :confused:
