Re: [TCML] primary material? (interview)

Hi Daniel,
That is a great tip, stripping the wire was the most tedious part of the job.
I'll have to try your method or something similiar next time. Thanks.

I've done this also and it works great.

As for stripping the wire, I tied one end of the length of wire (#12 
house wire) around a post, and the other end around my truck bumper. I 
backed-up slowly until the wire was pulled fairly taut.

Then I just got a long, not-so-sharp knife and carefully "ran" the blade 
from one end of the wire to the other, slicing a strip out of the 
insulation sheath. I wore gloves and held both the handle of the knife 
and the end of the blade at the same time.

After that, the rest of insulation peeled off without a problem.
75 feet stripped in about 5 minutes, start-to-finish. It's a great way 
to make a large, cable-type primary if you don't have tubing available.
