For the new pyros joining this hobby, this fuse is usually used for making quickmatch because of blackmatch's easily ignitable surface, when used as delay fuse you must be careful when lighting it, always avoid putting & lighting blackmatch that's pointed upwards, so the sparks don't fall on the rest of the blackmatch piece. Also, use longer pieces that you'll have a bunch when making it with this cheap yarn. Safety first pyros :)
Hi M&D! Great video (as always). It is true that Ned Gorsky produces this type of fuse. Many Italian pyrotechnicians have always used this method, even by weaving more threads together and then immersing them in the bp. Then of course they make fast fuses by putting them in small kraft paper tubes of 1 cm in diameter and using them for quick ignitions. But I think you know this too !! ;)) In my opinion this type of fuse, however, is good for large caliber shells because in small caliber ones (2 inches per cue) they make an edge that ruin the perfect cylindrical shape of the shell and that either leave a wide space between the mortar and the shell or have a hard time getting inside. Sure you have problems with shells of 2 inches or less. However, these fuses are very resistant and still suitable for all uses. Great video and great explanation !!! Ah, and finally a good feast of cherries, which I already see beautiful red !!! Greetings from Italy !! Fire this way !! Alex.
Make & Destroy I have heard that nitrocellulose varnish is added to the composition. The wick becomes stronger and slightly waterproof. What do you think?
The old recipe uses clothing starch, not water. It comes premixed instead of powder. 300g liquid starch to 500g BP. After stringing it up, wipe more slurry on it twice.
My grandma had similar powder for clothes, but I never heard of premixed liquid. Aldo I might be interested how stiff it can get the string haha, thanks for sharing
i just bought a huge roll of 8 ply cotton, and you post this haha. I noticed there was a good bit of residue on the bark after it burned...would you say the cotton is about the same? Appreciate your videos!

Nice video but i have a question about the sulfur based stars you made a long time ago (i think it was 50:30:20 kno3 sulfur bp), im also trying to make them but i cant seem to find a prime that lights them reliably so what did you use in your video?
Made some and it didnt turn out well im prolly going to 3d design a resevoir container that the string can exit while the container hold the composition in it while the end is a cone shape so it would let the cotton through while providing just enough composition to cover the string.
I wondered that. Dry the blackmatch then string it up and paint. You can buy Nitro cellulose lacquer paint for guitars. I think that auto paint stores could mix your color. They may have old lacquer as well.

Could you coat the fuse in a lacquer like some visco fuse?
What is this liquid
How did it take for you to dry your fuse@
This video just saved me hundreds of dollars.
Just dont let no lighting mistakes slip, its a jumper

Yeah, tnx Alex! 💪🏻
That's thinking "out-of-the-box"!
I'm sure Mr. Gorski would approve of your experiment!
Yeah, I learnt a lot from his vids and always looking for improvements, cheers pyro
I've been subscribed for a while now. Always enjoy your videos and this one is really well done. Good job! 👍

😎🔥 awesome thanks for the tips and the demo gonna be making some soon
Ned gorski method 😗😉
Good tutorial👍
thats some juicy blackmatch
Nice fuse;)

Not the same for sure, you can check the video where I made it with cotton string and compare with this one, thanks on your nice words pyro :)
So good channel !!!👍👍 keep up
Thank you so much 👍
Thanks!
So Nice love your videos 💪💪💥

This reminded me of Ned’s video.
I can tell we all learnt a lot from mr. Ned ;))
He’s fantastic!
Отлично!!!

Most likely a bp comp, thanks tho!
@@MakeAndDestroyFireworks regular bp just burns off without igniting the stars
@PHIRE WERKS isnt that tiger tail?
@@kaaasis "regular bp just burns off without igniting the stars"
Nice one bro, I learnt this technique from Ned Gorski. what binder did you use?
Dextrin, yeah Ned is one of the first pyros I learnt a lot watching
Made some and it didnt turn out well im prolly going to 3d design a resevoir container that the string can exit while the container hold the composition in it while the end is a cone shape so it would let the cotton through while providing just enough composition to cover the string.
You'll have to mess around a bit to get your first good batch
always find the stiff wood
Can you lacquer coat this to be water proof like cannon visco fuse ?
I wondered that. Dry the blackmatch then string it up and paint. You can buy Nitro cellulose lacquer paint for guitars. I think that auto paint stores could mix your color. They may have old lacquer as well.
I made Firework Blackmatch but i used to much water and i used Black powder that didn’t work and the fusu obviously didn’t work
Mine didn't work at first try either mate 😂 take your time
Cotton for traditional. Acrylic slag is not ideal.
Is it that easy 😮
With some practice and glowes, can't get faster way to make some fuse :)
+ drying rack haha, but you can see my video on how I assembled one
What was your kno3 sulphur, char ratio, ?? For makin the slurry
Standard BP mix but no need to ball mill or corn. 75 15 10
Just like filipino fuse
can you tell me what chemical the superb puse adhesive is?
Binder I use in my pyrotechnics is baked cornstarch, caled Dextrin
Can you send the instructions for making gunpowder, please?
For projects like this, just screen through a 100 mesh. It isn't fast gunpowder.
Hi bro
Water or alkohol
In this one only water, as I said in the video
@@MakeAndDestroyFireworks ok. Thanks man
Liquid clothing starch to BP mix. 3:5 by weight.
