May i suggest you try and attend any meetings the ukps have, that way you will get your face known amongst the right people And good luck ime sure you will find fuse soon enough.

I live in Essex and rank my involvment with fireworks as purely cat 3 hobbyist; the company I currently work for (an innovation network, nothing to do with fireworks) funds up to 3 shows a year at our leadership training centre in Oxford, my chance to play.
I did my stint as a firewok company owner 15 years ago, just nice to keep the hand in, if that is permissable?
Looks like my times of working with quick and pic, we never used visco, why would we, are assigned to history. Still as they say better to have had and lost than never had and I can remember getting through at least a 300m reel of pic per season, lost count on quick!
Many thanks for the various suggestions much appreciated.
Hope you enjoy the punch of a rising beauty as much as I did.

Cheers

fuse, ect is easy to get hold of, a lot of users can sell it legally but its just sending though the post that makes things hard,

a lot of us users that on ukps members run firework companies or have very good ties to the fireworks industry, so depending where you live and as long as you can prove your not a 12 year old kid (being a ukps member proves this) then there are people all over the uk where you can buy and pick up the fuse without any problems.

what city or region do you both live.

Does the company you work for know what you're doing ( as in fusing cat3 to make cat4)?
I know you probably know but it would worry me if this was going on at a work even in case anything happened.

I am down to my last couple of metres of quickmatch and visco which was purchased many moons ago from one of the large company's when I was still on the fringes of being 'inside the tent'. Could do with a restock, not vast quantities as I only do 2 or 3 x £1000 each year for my company but need it all the same. Any guideance on buying these would be greatly appreciated.

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

5ft of fuse for £11.99 are you a euro millionaire?

Lol. I wish, I've ordered 100ft of visco, its the only fuse I buy, I make my own blackmatch, quickmatch and spollettes for timefuse. I just thought, standard visco when you can't get it anywhere else was a good price. Its swings and roundabouts with all the suppliers, some things are dear and some things are cheap.

THATS RIDICULOUS PRICING!

I beat him hands down on everything and Im 1/2 price on some items lol!

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?

[cooperman435]

Lol do a genuine one and then a "silly priced" one for those who think paying more than they should is a good thing hehe

How can you say that when you don't even sell visco.

[cooperman435]

Regardless of what I sell in the shop Deano it doesn't change the fact that £100 per 50m roll of qm or what equates to £25 odd for a roll of 50m Visco is ludicrous, compare everything else he offers for sale against mine and see the diference.

I also dont "INCLUDE POSTAGE" in everything I sell automatically as to post 10 x 500g parcels is a lot more than 1 x 5kg parcel so I dont try to make profit from the basic service of sending you what you have already paid (too much) for.
