Wire type/source and design, and "affixment" for piezo

[Mike Sayre]

I'm looking for tips about what kind of wire to use to wire up a two-element piezo affair. Perhaps it is not so critical, I probably can source some nice flexible stranded wire from a local hobby shop, if that would work.
I am thinking the two discs need to be wired in parallel, not in series; am taking direction on that also.
Lastly, I was going to spread a thin layer of epoxy or CA to help hold the wires mechanically, and CA the element to the soundboard. Is that the right approach?

Use Shielded wire to solder onto the piezos.

Here's some info from a bass I made: http://www.mimf.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=973

There's a lot in the library here too. I ended up using a thick layer of hot melt glue to mount 2 pickups in parallel under the bridge plate. I've never used them to gig with, so can't really say how they sound. They're just there as a contingency measure.

Definitely use shielded cable as Mark says, as their high impedance can pick up noise. Here's a pic of the way I mounted mine. I installed the jack on the side rather than at the tail so I could reach it through the sound hole in case I ever needed to.
