Just wondering, Do you think it is ok to run a new bonding strip over the old one, or is is better to cut the old one out first.
Thanks
Matt

Wouldn't hurt to overlay a new one over the old, so long as you don't try to splice into the old.

I am pretty sure i bought the .22, Capt. Pat has a right up on it some where, and i think it was either 1.5 or 2" The receipt is at home, I will look later and let you know.

Sorry I bought this
COPPER STRAP 1 in. x .022 in. x 100 ft. Coil
on the building tips page and i think 26 gauge is .0159
"The primary strip should be copper at least 26 gauge in thickness and 1" in width."
Capt Pat, so if we lay to new bonding strip over the old, dont tie it into the old, so where an old loop is make a new lop on top of it?
