Recon its fine to use any secondhand copper.I've been soaking it in citric acid and water for a day or to and it strips it back to pure pink virgin copper.Even the skankiest coppercleans up like new.

Don't go to the scrap yard, I heard a rumour it was going into liquidation, I went past today and the rumour was true they are closed !!
