I've done miles of this type of wire.
Once the insulation is off, drag your hand along the cable to bunch up the paper crap, should be some synthetic string in there also, once you have a bundle and it no longer moves just use side cutters or grab that box knife to cut that nasty bundle off.
That cable would bring a better price re-sold to someone who is a welder, unless for some reason it's preferable to disguise the wire.
Thanks,
I'll have to try it this way, but most of the time, no one is at home when I'm messing with the wire so ill try to find away to lock it down. Get a vise or something.
The lengths I get range from 4' to about 12', most times the insulation is messed up. So I don't think anyone would be interested. But occasionally I do come across good pieces but the longest ill probably ever get is 12-15' due to the application it is used. But majority is 4 to 5 ' pieces. On the longer pieces sometimes it has a good 6-8 ' section.
Do you know of anything people might want shorter pieces of cable for.
If I keep getting it like I do now it want be bad to keep up with as I get it, once I get what I have built up done. But I also have a chance of getting alot more, but I don't want to take that on unless I get a good way of getting it done in the least amount of time.
Thanks
