Take a plastic straw and glue or tape one end shut. Fill in some black powder or fire fudge or something like that. This is sorta like the booster in a blasting cap, it initiated by KMnO4, our lovely permanganate. Just fill in a bit to cover the black powder. Now stuff in a cancerette filter and when you`re ready for action, squirt in some glycerine, using a syringe. Delay is about 2 minutes, but you can replace the filter with other barriers. If it`s too cold, the glycerine will become pretty thick and viscous and the delay won`t work. |

Could someone tell me how to make a fuse, a SIMPLE fuse. People tell me to just buy them but they are damn hard to find in New York. ------------------ |

I (will) have something on very very simple fuses on my site , but for now I'll just tell you. (NB I worked this out myself) get some of sodium chlorate weedkiller (from hardware or garden stores) , it should be about 50% sodium chlorate - it will say on the pack. Put 25cm3 in 50 ml of water. stir a little , then filter through 3-5 layers of toilet paper or kitchen roll. keep the filtrate (you can reuse this or dip paper/string in it) and seperate the filter paper into sheets of 1 or 2. leave them to dry. when they are dry , srape off the residue(this is a fire retardant) then you can cut off thin long strips and use as a medium pace fuse , or roll up into tight tubes to make quick fuse (the more turns and the tighter the faster it will burn). If you want to make string fuse , clean and rinse the string with hot water , then rub it in your fingers so that it frays all along. Soak (for about an hour) in the filtrate solution then take out and dry . you can then re-tighten the string and use as slow to medium pace fuse (depending on how long it was soaked for and how loose it is). hope that helped. ------------------ |
