Reminder about whether to strip wire or not

Hi, welcome to the forum. I see you've be searching the old threads. First please go to the introductions section as do a quick introduction.

The wire stipping thing has been beat to death so I will give you what I believe is the most complete answer. Its all up to you.

Generally you will put more money in your pocket if you stripe insulated wire and sell the copper as #1 or #2 depending on the size. Now if you are stipping wire while you have nothing else to do your labor is free. If you could better utilze you time then don't stipe. Thats why I say its up to you.

Now to better educate yourself I suggest your buy a cheap postal scale, if you don't already have a good scale. Do a before and after weight and see for yourself if it was worth you time. Mike.
