[sdiy] Prototype wiring pen

[Scott]

I've got this vero-prototype system wire pen thing.  (Sorry I can't remember the proper name for it)  It's a pen w/ a spool of some fine wire w/ some sort of insulation on it.  You use it to wrap around posts and things for quick prototype work.  When you heat the wire to solder it, it melts through the insulation in that spot.  I used it on some midibox digital projects for wiring up 100's of led's and some encoders.

I use thicker wire for my modular.  I'm building a sequencer and have to do some tricky behind the panel wiring between switches and pots and jacks for some things I'm doing w/ the gate outputs.  Do you think it would be safe to use this fine wire for it?
Unfortunately I don't know the gauge of the wire, and I have nothing to... gauge it on (literally and figuratively) .  It's thinner than 26awg, I can tell you that much.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about, do you think I can use it?  It would sure go about 4x faster if I don't have to clip and strip every connection.

thanks!
