[TowerTalk] Remove enamel from CU wire

[Joe Reisert]

Sylvan,

I think you are referring to a bottle from General Cement called "strip-X" 
or something like that.

A few years ago I tried to buy some and was told it was a hazardous 
material and was either no long available or had to be shipped as hazardous 
material. I didn't want the responsibility so I went back to using a pen 
knife to strip wires!

73,

Joe, W1JR
