    Cheap and easy sources for splicing wire.

    Guitar strings or hobby shop music wire work great 22 GA which is actually .022" for Lash-it/Zing-it.
    Ernie Ball custom gauge 22p is the largest non-wrapped string.
    Just about any solid wire in that size will work.

    Hobby shop music wire is great.
    .036" to .044" works well for 7/64" and 1/8" amsteel.
