Blackmatch - Making and other issues

now my question is: Just recently I made up a bunch of blackmatch getting things ready to have on hand for the holidays and was testing a short 8 inch peice. as soon as it lit (with very little effort) it was gone. How can I slow this down without getting spitting and spuddering?

Are you using dextrin as a binder? If so how much (%)? Was the black match confined?

I honestly think it would be to fast to make quickmatch with. I could add a peice of safty fuse to it for a little delay, but I was making it for a finaly rack im working on, but like I said I truly believe its to fast.

I think this would be because with powder just on top of the string it burns simply on the top but rubbed in it burns all the way throguh thus creating a slower balckmatch but one that burns more and is less likely to go out.
Just a thought.

My last batch of black match came out much crumblier than I would have liked (due to me using crappy dextrin that I though was cooked enough but wasn't) and seems to like quickmatching, but doesn't like being bent or pushed into close fitting fuse holes. Therefore I've just threaded the lot of into pipes, and I'll make another batch of tougher black match to use for delays some time.

I always thought that was a feature!its tendancy to quickmatch as soon as it gets into nosing

I know goex makes a number of powders for fuse use, I'd be interested to study them.

Maybe this is what you're looking for.

This composition is very close to the common black powder formula, don't expect a huge difference if any....
