thanks... hopefully my technique will be much better by the time I'm done with all of this

I actually tried to get some smaller gauge wire, but my local radio shack was strangely sold out of everything stranded in the smaller gauges ... they had 'speaker wire' in 18 gauge but this turned out to be not so good.... the insulation seems to have a much lower melting point and would constantly get smashed by the helping hands as soon as I tinned the wire...and bleeding onto the wires.... yuck.
