    Wire identification

    New here and reading a lot of posts about wire I d and what it is classified as. I have a nidea for us noobs. Cut a piece of wire from all types you have, get a a board, glue it,staple it onto the board. Go to whatever scrap yard u are going to deal with and ask them what type of wire they call it. This way you low what it is for where you live. Then hang it up whe ever you separate your wires and now you have an easy reference for your self. Hope this is useful. Sorry for the typos, I have fingers like sausages.lol.....Just saw that link to "scrap monster" on top of page...check it out it gives a good decription of wire types and their description. If you click on picture of the wire it gives the description. Seem like a good place to start...jmo.
