And it's been just long enough since I made that video that I'm not certain. But I would recommend 28-gauge (0.32 mm) for the bezel wire, and something sturdy like 18-gauge (1.0 mm) or 22-gauge (0.6 mm) for the backing plate. Hmm, I don’t think that I did.

I used to just use paper, but it would always slip. But a sticky note holds well enough without leaving any residue to clean up later. Glad to hear that my little tip helped!

A grinder tool could work, but may be too aggressive for the soft bezel wire. (The very best method would be to use the least amount of solder possible so that large amounts of cleanup aren't necessary.) Best of luck!
