Anyone know where I can get about 3 feet of 1-2 mm dia tungsten wire
(pure tungsten, not sintered as in welding tungstens, it will have to be
bent) at a non-silly price?
Thanks,

I have used The Scientific Wire Company in the past and although their
'craft work' website lists tungsten the largest they show is 0.1mm. An
enquiry to their main company may prove useful - tel 020 855 0002.

He's probably trying to make an ignitor for a 5MW roman candle :-)

See if you can guess. It's quite a specific thing.
The other "ingredients" are a 95mm dia by 150 mm lump of EN24, jewellery
beads, ground glass, a transformer + wiring, nuts'n'bolts.
