    todays com wire experment.

    weighed out 10 # of computer wire including ribbon. and chemicaly stripped it to find the difference in weight, and profit potential.

    I get .40 for com wire

    I get $3 for #2



    I ended up with 2.7 lbs of #2 out of 10 lb of com wire.

    10 lb x .40 = $4

    2.7 x $3 = $8.10 or a $4.10 gain

    now to find an econimical way to strip it.

    don't like burning and MEK is $18.00 a gallon. go to work folks lets figgure this out.
