  • True. When you are doing it all the time then you get the knack.

    Used to be good with MIC but haven't had to deal with it for years so my skills with stripping and potting are virtually none existent now.

  • Never done mineral insulated cable, fuck me that looks like a real pain in the arse, lol.

    Had a funny one with some SWA the other day. The individual core insulation was transparent but painted, so the tiniest scratch made it look like you’d cut it down to the copper as once the paint was off you could see the metal shining through. Thought I was losing my mind until I noticed it when making off the ends. Very CSB I know (I don’t get out much any more).

  • Insulation shouldn't be like that. Definitely not transparent under core colour and certainly not 'removable'.

    Sounds like dodgy cable. I'd flag it up.
