I'm having a tough time finding small wire nuts for making under layout connections. Please, does anyone have a clue where I will find them. My local hardware stores don't have them small enough. Help.

If it is not a joint that will need to be opened from time to time for trouble shooting, you may want to try soldering the joint and then insulating with electrical tape( I recommend scotch 33+, not the cheap $.99 a roll stuff). this method will assure a good joint and you won't be troubled by the wire nut coming loose or the small wires breaking from the stress of being twisted too tight.
