    Learned a new "cheat code" for stripping electric tape off the stranded cu wire/tvs

    so I've done about 100 TV's and computer monitors this summer...and I've been isolating that run of stranded copper wire that runs around the perimeter of the tube...and stripping them with a box knife infront of the tv...doing 5 or so at a time...well today I had a great idea...

    cut that wire loop in half and strip a couple inches off of one end. Then grab one of the copper conductors and if the tv is old enough or the electrical tape is dry enough, you can pull that one strand all the way down the wire run and it will slit the electrical tape in about two seconds. Shizam!

    I did a few this way today, but noticed it didn't work very well on aluminum wire coated with green enamel, the aluminum wire kept breaking.
