OT: power & ground for wirewrap boards

Gang,

        Sorry for the offtopic post, but I need y'alls expertise...

        I've got a wirewrap SBC that I'm working on (6502-based system). I've got
my wirewrapping skills down pretty well and that part is not a problem.

        For the power and ground connections for each chip, a friend suggested I
should solder 16-gauge wire from a tie point or the power connector
straight to each chip and/or its bypass cap. The only 16-gauge wire I have
is stranded, and it's a mess to work with -- too large to work with easily
and the strands mean it won't really bend and stay on the tie point or pin.

        Can someone who's done this successfully tell me how I should do this?

        Thanks!

Gordon
