Ok, a lot of people take grief for posting questions on here that can(???) be found by searching. I hate to ask myself, but its so much easier to ask again then spend 10-15 minutes searching for an answer and not finding one. So if anyone is feeling charitable, i would love to find a link here on how to best get clean copper off of a transformer covered in glue and paper. My guess is that scrap yards dont take it as #1 with all the stuff on it, and i'm hoping there is an easy solution for de-gunking it.

By the way, i've typed in almost every option of transformer + paper + glue + cleaning ++++++++++ that i could think of....

Thanks in advance!
