Ty,
I to use the 7/8 Prodlen Hardline… AA1K has developed a easy methoud to
remove the insulation with out scoring the alunimum spiral sheath. It’s a
Harbor freight scrubby wheel on a maderal and using battery operated drill
.
They call it a 4 1.2 pollycarbit abrasive wheel
YMMV

hot water (or a gentle heat gun) to soften the plastic a bit? I've used
that technique when removing thick insulation from large gauge wire.
