No 32 graticule repair - materials and methods

[jss]

My no32 graticule crosshair has broken after reassembly having fixed backlash problem.
I have been advised to Superglue the replacement using some weights attached at each end to ensure it does not sag.
What wire do I need and where might I find some without buying a 100' roll?. Is there an alternative?. I.e. light bulb filament, Sony Walkman wire etc?.

Contact forum member "218bee". He sells excellent Crosshair wire (Tungsten I believe)

Incidentally, wire thickness should be 0.001" (or more accurately 0.0008")
