If you have soldered your twisted wire and have found that you have made it slightly too small, I have found an easy way to stretch it. I was taught this by Tom Botsford of Fort Collins. You simply have to put the twisted wire over the tips of your needle nose pliers and open them up. This will stretch your twisted wire tighter and enlarge it so that it will fit around your bezel. Do not try to stretch your bezel in this fashion, as it does not stretch the metal. This method stretches the twisted wire tighter around each other, which makes it longer.
