Does anyone have a 2019 source for fine steel wire or Wonder wire?

 I have .002 inch diameter hard stainless steel wire, hard .003 stainless steel, half hard .004 stainless steel, hard .004 brass, half hard .005 steel, soft .006 copper, and hard .010 brass available. A one hundred foot length packaged as a three inch diameter coil for $3.00 each which includes shipping to USA addresses. $4.00 each for international addresses.

Wonder wire is composed of a extremely small diameter tungsten metal core with elemental boron deposited on the tungsten's surface. This boron filament is available in aerospace purity grades from Specialty Materials located in Lowell, Massachusetts, USA. They have two sizes. .004 and .0056 inch diameter. The big obstacle in obtaining this material from Specialty Materials is that they have a one pound minimum order. The .004 is $1355 per pound. The .0056 is $1602. There are many thousands of feet per pound so the price per foot is cheap. Note that is one thousand three hundred fifty five dollars per pound not $13.55
