Stripping is all in the blade

I use a box cutter, works great for me personally. But I had no idea about heating first... Using a lighter is what comes to mind, could anyone share how they heat it first??

Put it the sunlight to warm it up.

This idea might be weird to you, but I used to wash the oil off my fridge compressors doing it, which really puzzeled my scrap buyer until I told him how I did it.
I have a open topped plastic 20 gallon drum. I simply diverted the waste hot water from my dishwasher into it onto my Copper wire.....
Simple eh?
The first rinse comes thru as cold water, that cold water went directly out down the drain.
The next two washes are really really hot water, with soapy dishwasher in it, that took care of the oil and left the Copper wire smelling nice..

I was doing a quick rinse of the dishes first to make sure no solid food came out with the wash. The first cold rinse takes most of it off anyway.
Because the dishwasher heats the hot water up again to a even higher heat, its hotter water than you normally get from the tap.
