Hi Richard:
A number of good comments have been made.
I'm not sure anyone covered the fact that
two wires make a bundle, and therefore each
single in that bundle must be derated.
So, a single 10 AWG is good for 32 amps at
20 C. But, two 10 AWG wires in the same
bundle are only good for 31 amps each at 20 C.
Here's a caculator that might be of interest,
but use cautiously as the calculator may not
apply to your situation:

Best regards,
Rich
