I've had to resort to Stripping !

[Jamie]

When we were on building sites i used to pick up lengths here and there and strip it at lunch, all the guys laughed at me until we stopped at the scrappy on the way home.

Its about £3500/ ton at the moment for clean copper. Weight it yourself before you go though! Never trust a scrap man lol. And thats from one of my best mates who has a big scrapyard

 

Took some nickel in last week. £16000 a ton :) Happy days!!! Although only had a small bit and nowhere near a ton.

[Dean Lofthouse]

how are you stripping it dean?

 

Its hard work stevie

 

I got a peice of Ali bar, drilled a hole through it the size of the wire so it slides ove the cable nicely.

 

Then I drilled a hole through sideways and threaded it to fit a grub screw in, I then sharpened the grub screw and just screw it in far enough to cut through the sheathing

 

All you do then is slide it on the cable and pull it along, it leave a slit in the outer sheath then you can simply peel it away, can do 50m in about 5 minutes

 

Well worth spending time stripping it though for the extra money

[Stephen Blair]

nice one, hope you get a good price mate
