    I melt my wire insulation off cuts into glue for special projects and also use the coating for tie downs and handy ropes if they are strong enough.

    Sounds like a great idea!!

    How do you do it? Just put the stuff in a pot on the stove and dip stuff you want to coat in it? Presumably you sort out the insulations that will melt....Do you stay with any particular sort of wire, like Romex?
