Why not make your own visco? easy to make and costs very little to produce a few hundred meters of the stuff. Currently I have built a visco rig, paper firecracker fuse machine and at the moment trying to create a plastic fuse so possibilities are out there and the satisfaction that it is your own is second to none.
fireworks is my aim setting of is the game

The UK needs a proper decent fuse suplie.

I've found a means of getting quick match, 10 rolls of 50m for £300 delivered. Its not waterproff but the brown paper type on display shellls.

Good price or not?



£30 a roll of quick match is still a tad expensive id expect between £10 to £15 per roll at that amount. + p&p or pickup

iv heard that to but as far as i know it hasn't been confirmed yet, as it opens a can of worms.

all shells have a QM on it, does this means all shells turn 1.1 if you think a case of 3" has about 72M of quick match in it.

at what point did the Chinese start thinking about health and safety, (sorry the two don't go together :D)

I've just ordered some fuse from this company. They seem very good for fuse in my opinion.

I really cant see it being classed as 1.1 to be honest, that would cause sooo much distruption it just wouldnt be worth it to any body. Most if not all cat 4 material is QM leadered from shells to candle, cakes to wheels so as paul said would that make every cat 4 item 1.1?

I cannot see it happenin in all honesty. Its not even like QM has a high potential of self ignition unlike for instance salute shells. If you want the hard to find items you need to get ur face known not through emails or posts on here. As paul said get to the AGM meetings and any other meetings that come up ime 100% positive that once your face is known and a level of trust and competance is seen you will have no issue sourcing any type of fuse. Simply sitting behind your computer does not get you in.

Rant over i shall get back under my rock :rolleyes:
