In Reply to: is it possible that the insulation on this wire ISN'T teflon? posted by jarthel on March 24, 2007 at 00:04:45:
I have melted real teflon before with an open flame. As you know, Teflon is generally a milky white color. When heated close to melting it turns clear. That is an indicator that might help you.
