Need lubricant to aid in stripping process  

Hello...I am looking to improve a wire stripping operation. We wind wire ourselves, and the wire core is usually .010 or larger, and is SS, nickel, or other durable material. The outer layers of wire are aluminum, nylon, ss, nickel, or sometimes a mixture. We currently smash the wire to desired length, but pulling the outside "sheath" can be problematic....the problem is we dip the wire in "floor Wax" to bond it together while winding....I am looking for a "dip" type of lubricant I can put onto the core to facilitate stripping. I have seen posts here regarding RO-59, but don't know if it will work...I can put a heat station the winders after the dip.(using a heat gun, or "toaster" type convection heating.

Thanks,
