TONEARM REWIREE - DUMB QUESTION

I am thiking about re-wiring an arm myself from cartridge tags to phono plugs.

My questions are:

1. after exiting the arm does one solder a heavier gauge of cable to beef up the smaller cable

2. does one simply shield the cable on exiting the arm

3. any wire recommendations other than cardas which i understand are quite stiff

This is in use in my Tonearm at present, but I am due to have this exchanged to a bespoke produced wire in the not too distant future.
