If you can judge the size of the wire from this picture then you'll be in good shape. The wire needs to be slightly thicker than the holes in the circuit board, and be a solid copper core (no strands). The wire I used was from an old phone jack and is 26 gauge. Strip off about a 1/4" of insulation from the end. Now take the wire cutters and hold them at a 60 degree angle to the wire. You'll want to cut the wire about 1/16" or 1mm from the end of the insulation. Cut the wire at an angle to give it a sharp point.
