First let’s note the hazard that doesn’t exist

The hazard is paint on the conductors. I agree little problem with paint on insulation.

Write it up. All conductors should be clean prior to attachment to devices.

Mild today.
I realize its an old thread, Marc.
Typically run across Jim’s posts on Brian Hannigan’s InspectionNews.
Nice to see his posts anywhere.

Happy New Year.
