$38.37 (considering you have a soldering iron) and don't mind doing some coding, I'd estimate it would take 20 minutes at most if your not putting much detail into it.

It's got silicon so it doesn't melt or pull back when you tin or solder, and is really easy to strip.

But I'd say in the 24-30 awg range.

Here's some installs I've done with it lately

Stripper

I use some of this for all of my projects. It has worked well and is easy to strip. Stranded wire is fine as long as you are tinning your wires.

Paracord-

This is what I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072JPJDBK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You really have endless options, this store on amazon has almost 600 different paracord:

I stripped the ends of the 4 wire, twisted 2 and 2 together, threaded through the back hole, twisted those combined wires together, and then heat shrinked the over it with the small clear one in the box (link shown later))

You will also need a soldering iron, and thin solder, the points to solder are small. https://www.amazon.com/Welding-Diameter-Storage-Electrical-Electronics/dp/B01N0VNNKO/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=solder&qid=1562018188&s=gateway&sr=8-5&th=1

*Unless you have replacement mouse feet, be careful removing your current set*

I tried this stranded wire because it is all I had on hand for the LED/sensor other than my thicker solid core wire. There was no spec sheet for it, but someone on amazon answers said its resistance was 0.3 Ohms per foot and I only ran about 2 ft of it. Do you think that’ll work? If not, I’m open to buying some different stuff.

I need to check my soldering tonight with a meter but so far transferring it from my breadboard to a “perma-proto” board has bricked it lol. Here’s a picture of how I wired the sensor with the capacitor - maybe you can see the problem. I tried researching it but don’t really know the verbiage even.

perfectly fine. i mean they're literally the same cables that ceesa uses so i was pretty confident they were gonna be just fine. but somebody messaged me and he ordered awg 30 wires from amazon but they were almost double the thickness of the ones i used (https://www.amazon.com/StrivedayTM-Flexible-Silicone-electronic-electrics/dp/B01KQ2JNLI/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=awg+30&qid=1549838351&s=gateway&sr=8-5)
he couldn't even get them through the paracord so there seems to be a difference.

internation ebay link for the ones i used. german linked was already posted in the previous post

I didn't want to create a whole post for this question, sooo, would this wire suffice for trying to build a induction heater for my dynavap? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KQ2JNLI/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_9NH1CbAKYCS8J

Thats very informative!! is this the wire you use
