Where can I get quick fuse or quick match in the U.K?

I can only find 1 decent source but they are sold out and prices are also quite high.

Thank you

Yup thats the one i was talking about. He is very expensive!

Also why does the U.S get fuse so cheap. Its like a dollar or 2 for some decent quick fuse.

I dont see why the UK government have a problem with fuses. Hey if someone wanted to make a bomb or something that can just get a fuse from a firework etc.

I dont think its a terrorist reason, i think its more along the lines of fire hazard and explosion hazard just like all cat 4 material. QM in a length over 1 meter doesnt half go off with a right old pop, now imagine a boz of maybe 50-100 50 meter rolls going of at once !!!! If they didnt restrict it then yo could potentially have half a container of it sat on your drive ( highly unlikly but its a possibility). Infact ime not sure fuse come under cat 4 its just suppliers dont sell it to joe public.

Also if wirelessfireworks.co.uk can get them, then why cant other sellers get them.

Makes me think it might be worth importing them myself if their is such demand. The regualtions cant be that high if wirelessfireworks are selling them without problems.

All types of fuse, not just quickmatch is ADR rated LQ0 and IATA forbidden in Limited quantities. This basically means you can not transport it by anything less than a full ADR complient consignment, no limited quantity exceptions are allowed. The only people you can find who will post it to you for less than £40 shipping are likely beaking the law in this respect. I'd say make your own blackmatch based quickmatch. It's pretty swift, you can knock out about 100m of blackmatch in a hour including setup. If you get some gummed paper, it's a fairly smooth process to enclose it.

Well if you know / work for any cat 4 display companies then I am sure you can get visco etc for pennies a meter.
Shame I don't know any.
