All fireworks need some sort of delay between the time you light it and the time it "goes off". There are many different methods of fuses ranging from green Visco to Ematches. Because of the importance of relibility a good fuse is esential. Every one has his or her own favorite ignition method rangeing from device to device but here is one of the simpleist; Black mach. Black match has nothing to do with the marches you may use to light fuses, but it is the fuse. Black match rages from super-reliable to not so reliable. It is very important that you get you fuse working reliabley before you use it in any device. This page is just a starting point. There is much more research needed. |
STEP ONE:
Get all of your materials. This includes 100% cotton string. Mop string works fine, just make sure mom isn't looking when you yank it. You will also need NC laquor( a new section about that is coming soon) and fine blackpowder( about 4Fg, I just milled down my 3Fg). A screen or sifter is also needed as is a piece of newspaper.
If you look at the picture, you will notice that my NC
laquor is in the jelly jar. You may notice that my NC
laquor is gray, not white. This is because I mixed in
some BP to give it some "zing", I don't think it helps.
STEP TWO:
Dip your string into the NC laquor. Pull the string
out and let dry. This should only take about 20 minutes.
If you'll notice in the picture, I'm almost out of NC
laquor.
STEP THREE:
When the string is dry, put it back into the NC laquor.
Pull it out and lay it down on the news paper. Quicly
pour some black powder into your screen. Then spread the
blackpowder evenly on the string. Turn the string and
repeat until the string is 100% evenly covered.
