Serious question, though - do I need to use Corona or can I use a micro-brew?

Compress the shock as much as you can and tie it up, or you will wish you had...
As long as it is American Micro-Brew, you are good...

HI There,
You bet aircraft safety wire .032" is what I would have used.
50 times stronger than electrical tie-offs,which should be used to secure wire bundles.
Glad it worked for you.
