Spark-Spittin', Slag-Swingin', FUSE TESTING American Visco, Time Fuse+

I test seven different fuses including American Visco, Premium Cannon Hobby Fuse, Safety Link, Fast Cannon Fuse (Pink), Regular Cannon Fuse, Red Medium Cannon Fuse (with metal wire, so cool), 1/4" Chinese Time Fuse.

I sell Pull-string/ring Igniter Kits on my website inventionincarnate.com. 50 count for $40. I personally make, package, and ship the kits and they are my channel's main source of income so buy one bc they are cool af. Also there are extra chemicals for a multitude of igniter styles, ie M228 rearming (legal method) etc.

I show an example of a homemade smoke composition igniter made from the US Military's XM-83 Starter Mix Formula:
-Silicon 16.12%
-Potassium Nitrate 51.87%
-Charcoal 17.03%
-Stearic Acid 10.71%
-Nitrocellulose 4.28%
**NOTES: Silicon Metal Powder (fireworks cookbook), Charcoal--I just used airfloat , Stearic acid I ordered on amazon, but you should probably get it from fireworks cookbook if available (make sure you grind to a fine powder independently before mixing), The NC is the binder and this ratio can be accomplished by mixing dry components in 12% NC Lacquer to a thick Paste, I've ordered 4 quarts of 12% NC Lacquer from Pyrocreations and have been happy with it. Seal the crap out of it when storing.

All fuses during Crossmatch testing were easily ignited (unprimed) with 1/4" Chinese Time Fuse from PyroCreations. NOTE: different vendors have different Chinese Time Fuse. for example, Skylighter's 1/4" Chinese Time Fuse has a narrower powder core that burns less aggressively and sometimes requires priming the crossmatch. Sometimes a less aggressive burn is good.
