[sdiy] connection wire

	Yes, you were using the wrong strippers (see my earlier email).  Ideal 
Custom Stripmasters rule when it comes to stripping Teflon coated 
wire...however like I said, I prefer to use PVC as it is truely much 
less expensive and easier to use, even if you do have the correct tools.
