Thanks
The black match which I have made I could use as a taper and I have found that when you dip string in KNO3 that also works well as a taper.
Thanks again

I will try out all of your ideas, Also does anyone know how long I should leave it to dry for?
I have also been recently trying to make a small firecracker sort of charge and made one with granulated bp which worked great, I then tried to make one with compacted bp which kind of went of like a fountain.
Does anyone know how I could make a decent firecracker that went of with a bit more than a mere poof.
thanks,
