Ma Bell gave her boys a special stripper for that stuff. It had
two notchs for the wire and a guide to hold the jacket in the right
position. I saw one, but I never saw anyone use one. The new stuff
has a plastic jacket tht can be even worse.


Having been a friend of Ma Bell...contractor...I had one. Didnt work
worth a ****.

I probably still have it somewhere out in the bins



Sometimes 'nothing' is better than 'better than nothing'. ;-)


Ive seen guys split the wire and dip it in a small vial of acid of
some sort, which breaks down the insulation rather quickly.

I cannot remember what it was though. Or it was some sort of solvent.

I do recall they pulled off the now soft as jello insul with pliers

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
