Ive done 2 already and have 26 seedlings and like 20 cuttings currently. As far as the wire goes its what i had laying around the house didnt consider geting wire designed for bonsai

Older Ace hardware stores often have coated copper wire on bulk spools in electrical department. Close examination should let you select the diameter you want. Stripping off insulation is not that hard.

And then it needs to be annealed in heat.
Or do like I do and toss it on the fire with the insulation on.
