Scrap Cable

[monjoor]

PVC = unstripped general cables from adaptors, speaker wire, telephone wire etc

Laid out flatish on a bit of cardboard with some diesel on it, u get near 3x the amount for non stripped

...be careful with that, brother in law is a paramedic and attended a farm near Bristol, the son wad slumped dead in chair in front of fire (only in 30's) - fire place full of burnt cable. Fumes had KILLED him.

even outside that stuff will damage you.

I'd stick to stripping or just weighing in..... Just something I heard that was a shocker.

Probably breaking some sort of law by burning stuff like that too.

Hi Monjoor , thanks for that !
I had sort of thought that it was the case , just wanted to make sure as I have only ever heard that grade referred to as household . And I know that they do sometimes incorporate professionally stripped sheathing into horse ménage coverings .

That should cover me lol

I hear people do it at night to hide the smoke to stop the fines.

Yes if there is black smoke you can get fined

Yes the cover of darkness would be best
