Stainless .032" Safety/Lock/Tie Wire (Mechanics wire should work too.)

Thanks, Alex.

I did see that one the other day; I think it was labeled "mechanics wire" and was gauge 20 (0.032") in a roll.

I believe that one was galvanized steel; are that and stainless used alike?

Get your self some shrink wrap or small diameter plastic tubing as well. If the wire needs float over a painted surface it will save the paint. And looks g'ed up too! Color match for extra effect.
