Tried it once, never again! The wire turned to dust :(
Yep, I got the same email! It went in the trash!!
What is a "porcelain magnet?"
My yard will deduct for any plastic or tires. Not sure about the mattress.
I would buy the stripper first.
I always take the nuts and bolts out my heatsinks.
Thanks for the tip about the heatsinks being copper!
OMG!!! That's so funny!!!
Dang!!!! I always thought they were brass. Thanks for the post! I learn something new everyday!
Not my wire strippers. I named my sledge hammers:
Mama sledge
Baby sledge.
My yard will deduct for any amount of plastic and rubber left on the metal.
My transfer station won't let me take any of "their" electronics! I asked them and they told me no, not if you are going to make a profit from them! Now I take everything out of them, put them back...
You may be right about the price difference, Mr. BohemianLush! The prices you posted are great. I guess I need to move to Denver!
I'm curious as to how much Blue was paid for his insulated wire?...

Hang in there my...
I wish I had your problem, parrothead!! I have lots of space and not one piece of scrap to work on.
Good Luck!
I only get "circuit board" price (.16 lb.). So, yes, I do cut them off. Any thing worth money on the board, I cut off!
Thanks for the link, Scrapette! Crazy is right!
And keep reading here! There's so much to learn.
All you can do is keep trying, Joey!. Good luck and stay safe.
Stripping copper wire. Next would be cleaning my aluminum!
It's tuff finding anything here, too, XZAV38! But the scrapyard people tell me they are busy. So who knows! Just keep looking. Something will come along!
