yeh that is what i thought, and tried..course, my wire strippers aren't the
best, they work alright for plastic coating but aren't very good...perhaps a
good set will help to get the worst of it off and then sand paper will
finish the job...
thanks for everyones suggestions...gives me some more to work on.
