    The 67% loss is absolutely incorrect.

    I weighed out 10lbs of degaussing cable, took it to work and stripped it then took it straight to the yard afterward. I didn't get a chance to weigh it again after I stripped it but according the their scale I got paid for 10 pounds of copper. Of course they round to the nearest pound, and I was expecting a 10% loss. Either one of our scales could have been a bit off but based on the weights last week I lost less than 5% by stripping. I am still going to use 10% loss as my estimate.

    60 something percent is off by a huge margin.
