S&G: Stitching Wire

Hi everyone,

The instruction manual did not come with my Night Heron, but I called CLC and they just sent one out. In the meantime, I just finished making the panels and am looking to keep working at a good clip. I'm wondering what the best wire to use is so that I can buy or order it as soon as possible. I've heard stovepipe wire works, are there any disadvantages to it? What length of wire is necessary for this boat, which is 18 ft, 20" wide, and only has four panels to be stitched since only the hull is S&G?

Thanks,

Mike
