| + | [* icon_note] You may notice the casing on the end of the wires here look a lot different than usual. This is because older wires from the 70's and prior were insulted using cloth or fabric. This may make them a little more annoying to strip, but only need a bit more force than usual. |
| + | [* black] Now that we have our wires exposed, we need to strip them to expose the actual metal inside of them. Take your standard wire stripper, and using the size gauge, take your wire and put roughly about an inch into the hole. |
| + | [* black] From here clamp down onto the insulation, and twist the wire before pulling upwards towards the end of the wire. It may take a few tries but the insulation will fray and eventually cut off. Your end result should resemble Picture 2, with the metal wire exposed. |
| + | [* icon_caution] Fabric insulation can be a little trickier to remove as well, even when stripped. You can used your knife to very carefully cut off the ends that remain attached without any damage to the wire, but be careful as this is a bit more close to the hand than cutting the casing. |
