If you strip the wire, you have to remove the clips on the ends of the wire too. That adds to the time taken & removes from the first actual weighin of the wire.
You don't get paid for the clips like you do when you sell insulated wire.



I sell the wire as plastic coated wire if its the same size or under the same sized wire we get in car looms, house wire etc.
I do clean off all the tape, seperate plastic & those plastic clips & get $3 a Kg.

Larger wire & degaussing cables etc I clean down to copper & clip off the soldered ends & get #1 @ $7.60 Kg.
