There's actually special wire for that. I have a few rolls I got in a gov't surplus lot once, that will last me forever. It's even stainless. There's a mil spec on the correct way to wire nuts and bolts. I can't say I've ever followed it, but it looks great in the pictures. Form wire is too fat and too soft. I'll admit I tend to not wire things, even if they were originally wired, if there's any chance I'll have to take them apart again and they don't seem to be coming loose without the wires. If I was launching a satellite into space, it would be different.
