Wire Gauge/Wiring Techniques

[evitative]

What gauge wire is everyone using for these builds? I had some stranded 22 AWG laying around and was having a heck of a time trying to wire one of the 3PDT boards. Any tips? Would I be better off using 24 AWG, or maybe solid copper wiring?

I use 24AWG. Stranded from the jacks to 3PDT, solid for everything else.

Any particular reason for that, or just what works for you?

I was using 22AWG stranded. I was having some of the problems you are having with it. Then I read a post on here about someone using 24AWG stranded with silicone insulation. The difference for me was amazing! So much more easier for me to work with. I read about what the more experienced builders use and try it out to see how it works. The important thing is to remember to go with what works for you.
