I was wondering if anyone knows of a decent video testing wire insulation flammability for various types?
BigClive showed us a way to test if a wire is copper coated aluminum by seeing how it responds to heat. I tried it with this wire here:

But instead of worrying about the wire, I noticed that the insulation does not seem very good.
The wire is a cheap telephone wire type bought for connecting small things (LEDs and such), and it's a really small diameter wire with a few cores (in short, the lowest possible price/quality, regardless of diameter).
I''m wondering how would other wires respond. Especially small wires used for connecting things on breadboards and soldering low current things together (small diameter wires in short).
So, if there is a video, please let me know. :)
