    Hello all from ESSEX U.K.

    Hello all fellow scrappers,

    Im a newbie to the scrap, only been doing it for around 8 months now.

    I am mainly into just the cable,and im having a nightmare with stripping it.
    I dont mind the thicker type coz the system i use, the plastic comes of easy?

    I am using this antiquated system of:
    A table (in my back garden, ouch its cold at the moment)
    a stanly knife
    and a pair of cutters.

    Im getting very confused with the different terminology that is used?
    However after just one night of searching the forum i think ive found a wealth of information on here.



    I will strip all cable that i come across, but the cable from household appliances is really time consuming, but its all that is about at the moment?

    Anyway,
    all the best Be Lucky.......Keep Scrapping........SkipRAT

    Welcome, skiprat, a skip is like a dumpster, isn't it?
