    I do the same small amounts with rest of the insulated. .80-1.00 lb depending on which yard I go to.

    Actually I strip mine. Is that wrong? It takes me a week with a razor by hand to get a pound. But it becomes #2 which sells more per pound than mixed. Peeps on here told me to break everything down cause I make mo money dat way.
