That is what Aerojet did with their monolithic cat pack and I'm working on a similar design as we are talking about this I am having a problem under standing how they created enough silver surface to decompose the peroxide in a half inch though.

I wonder if you could 3D print (in Stainless or some other suitable material) some sort of intentional tortuous path as the substrate. Make it intentionally a little porous (don't HIP it or anything fancy), and then plate the catalyst on the surfaces. You might have to electroplate it on since you couldn't get good viewing angles for electroplating. Alternatively, there was a weird vacuum coating process that I read about once that was supposedly good at coating around corners and such, but I can't seem to recall the company of the exact process name. I'll dig a little in my emails to see if I can figure it out.

If you're winding around a perforated center tube (which becomes the injector), you can wind under tension. Probably not as good as a press, but better than nothing.
