Strip a few pieces of your number two wire and get an idea of what the % recovery is and represent your #2 ICW at a fair % and you will get paid a little better than the board price.

None of it is worth stripping unless its MCM wire but then if you have a 85-92% recovery wire you will get paid not much under a #2 copper price. You have to bulk though. If you have a couple pieces it would be worth stripping to get Bare Brite if its not tin plated.

I have a fair amount of copper wire that will take quite some time to strip.

My question is, is it worth it to spend the time stripping it??

I would like to get a little more serious about scrapping metals now that I have the ability to do so, but I have a lot to learn
