Any suggestions please as to where I could get ecomically just 300mm or

Would nichrome make a substitute,

No.

I still have some donated by a denizen of
this group, about 1/32" and still shiny. It looks identical to the wire in
my cheese board.


That's because its half nickel and half chrome. But it wont take any
real tensions.

It's useful stuff, I use it to stitch cerablanket insulation inside simple
kilns.
