~ Fuses ~ There are many different ways to make fuses, but I have an quick and easy recipe for them. I have made these many times before and know that they are nice and reliable. A lot of documents have been made for fuses. Two things are factors in making good fuses. Number one is the material, and number two is the chemical. I find twine a good source for the material. IT comes in a big roll so you can make lots of fuse out of it. Then the best chemical that I have ever used on fuses is flash powder. It burns quick and is reliable to ignite your pyrotechnic device. All you need to do is dampen the flash powder and mix it to where the flash powder is not quite as liqiudized as water. It should be a little more than a paste, but not quite water. This will prove to soak into the twine better. Then you take your twine and rub the flash powder into it. This should be done with three fingers. You should make only one coat. After you have made the whole string you should hang it up to dry for a minumum of three days for maximum effectancy. *Note* - The twine usually has three strans of rope winded together. Undo one of these strans so that it thins the twine down to two strans. Unless you want it for a high explosive device. ---===>~JyNx~<===--- ---===>~Zealot~<===---
