Everyone suggests blades and strippers for these, but I haven't had any luck with this. I find it easier to cut into sections and unravel the tape..

Every time I have tried stripping it any other way, it takes seemingly a lot longer, because the tape doesn't just come right off like insulation does after slicing through it. Not the mention the annoyance when a strand breaks and gets in the way of the blade.

I'll unravel about halfway down, flip it over and while holding the strands, pull the rest off in a quick second.
