Depending on what insulator it might range from a year for PVC to many, maybe
10 - 20 years for some of the better once (like TEFLON).
The stripping methods have been described in a couple of prior postings. I
don't consider them great.

Do you want it in weeks, days, months ? :-)
Yes, the insulation deteriorates after it has been up for awhile.............
I am interested in the stripping method when you guys can present it.

I wouldn't call it "some kind of stake" as much as simple
doubt

by
observation.

How long is "a long time?"
