German engineering at it's best Paul
What is the use of such small ignitors anyway? Special effects come to mind but i'm not sure.

Haha sorry I didnt mean to come across as though I was pissed lol

I just meant that I had worked specifically to get a 100% reliable e match with little work needed per unit. My experiments had mainly been aimed at doing away with the solder completely due to the fiddlyness and that I found slightly too much heat resulted in sometimes melting the insulation from the longer lead making it necessary to test every e match after manufacture to ensure they were OK to use.

Like said before they are small ematches and whatever works well for an individual is best to use. :-)

If you're wanting to solder the nichrome and are worried about burning through the insulation on the main wire, can i suggest either cross-linked PVC or Tefzel insulated wire? both have a higher melting point than standard PVC.

I'm just wondering if they are any effective primers that don't use KClO3 ?? I don't want to use the stuff, yet. Would a perc/C/S prime, then once dry dipped in a BP slurry work ?
