I have my own trick for getting the wire out of the jacket instead of trying to pick it out of the end I have an old Soup pot you grab the two ends of the wire and rub the center of the wire Over The Soup pot Edge did stretches the plastic coating and the wire pops straight up then you can easily grab it by the middle and fold it up like you do then just drop it in the pot but that's just my opinion thanks for your video I used to do it that way too until I got a stripper

Great demo my friend. Have you ever asked your scrap buyer if they would buy the copper if you melted into bars and if so how would they buy it. You mentioned that the corroded wire is thin so it would be #2 even if it were clean so this may or may not help but if you mix up some water with powdered citric acid and heat it up and soak the copper in it it should clean off that corrosion. Just a thought.
@scrapitall200 3 ай бұрын
Thank you! My yard won’t buy ingots cause they don’t know what’s inside. Some yards have a device that scans the metal and they can know if it’s pure. That is certainly an option to remove corrosion and upgrade the copper. Thank you for watching my friend.
