Reminder about whether to strip wire or not

By the process of burning if copper as a metal loses weight, the plastic mass around the cable makes it clear that it disappears by burning ...


For example, do 100 kg of wire give me the same amount of copper ignited or peeled off or I will peel it to give more weight

Burning off the insulation is unlawful in the US and Canada(well certainly in nearly everwhere in the US and Canada). Having said that question yourself if burning is really best for you. Burning will introduce chemicals into your body that will affect you more and more.

Burning of the insulation will certainly be hot enough to consume small amounts of Cu. How much time do you use burning it and picking it backup to finally take it to the scrap yard? Could you better use that time to find more scrap, get more education to better run your business.

I think you may be chasing pennies while you could be picking up dollars(or Kunas in your case). I'm glad you're a member of the forum and look forward to read about your journey. 73, Mike
