Where can I buy platinum wire?

I need to have it before Monday, so preferably a brick and mortar store. I live in the States.

I'd guess unless you live in a big town, google it and have it shipped 'next day'

Meh, it's $15/ft and $37.98 overnight shipping!

I'm using it for a hydrogen fuel cell ( http://scitoys.com/scitoys/scitoys/echem/fuel_cell/fuel_cell.html ). Are there any other wire types that can act as a catalyst?

Sounds like a specialty item you're not likely to find in a brick and mortar store (and if you did, you'd probably still be paying for that shipping cost in the price of the item).

Do you think a jeweler might carry it? Probably cheaper to just pay for overnight shipping, though. And I don't know if the type used for jewelry would be the same purity as you'd need for your project.

There are several options for purchasing platinum wire in the United States. One option is to visit a local laboratory supply store or a specialty metal supplier. These types of stores often carry a variety of wires, including platinum, and may have the option for same-day pickup. Another option is to visit a jewelry supply store, as platinum wire is commonly used in jewelry making. You may also want to consider checking with a university or research institution in your area, as they may have a supply of platinum wire available for purchase. If you are unable to find a brick and mortar store that carries platinum wire, there are also several reputable online retailers that offer fast shipping options. It is important to make sure that the wire you purchase is of high quality and suitable for your specific needs.
