What is the scrap number of welding cable?

This stuff has the fine "hair" size of wire.

2 here also (stinks, cause the type W cable scraps won't fetch as much)

It strips pretty easy, is it still #2 once stripped?

Can I "melt" it down to make #1?

 

[donselectric]

stripped and shinny i get 3 bucks a lb

Even with the "hair wire" ?

And thanks,
Bill
