Merlin Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Most of you know this but for anyone that does not China no longer exports time fuse according to cannonfuse.
dagabu Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Interesting to hear, I'll have to call Starr and see if they have any for PGI this year.
AzoMittle Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Noooooooo D: I actually can't find anyone carrying time fuse, can anyone provide a link to a reliable source?
Merlin Posted July 9, 2016 Author Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Noooooooo D: I actually can't find anyone carrying time fuse, can anyone provide a link to a reliable source?Pyrocreations still has some in 10 ft rolls. Its way over on page 6 or 7 of the fuse section of their website. Edited July 9, 2016 by Merlin 1
dagabu Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Still waiting to hear from Johnny but was told over at Fireworking that there is a ban on component exports from China to keep others from taking business away from them.

Merlin Posted July 9, 2016 Author Posted July 9, 2016 Surely not. But it makes sense that so many Chinese fireworks are sold here. The term "components"could mean more than fuse. Paper ball shells fast fuse and all manner of chemicals.It would seem to me they would lose money by not selling components. Were it to be only time fuse some enterprising soul would surely manufacture it in the US. It would be good to hear from Lloyd or Mumbles on this.
MrW Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Well welcome to our world ( where its all illegal)... Legal or not, we cannot get it easily in Aust.
dagabu Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Just so you all know, Starr Fireworks out of North Dakota has plenty of time fuse, this is the SAME time fuse that Marc sold the last few years and has fantastic timing! Here is the thing... You have to buy it by the case!!!!!
wyzard10 Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Why is it you dont see any japanese or american made time fuse, the only american listed fuse i could find comes from PPI and it comes in 300ft rolls. I checked the starr fireworks site and they list no pricing or shipping info.
pyroman2498 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 i recently got a message from my club saying this "It turns out that there is a shortage of time fuse on themarket right now, and we might not be able to obtain anymore time fuse for a long time. However, there is a anopportunity that has come up recently that we should considertaking action on.There's a vendor that is selling very good time fuse for areally good price. He's liquidating some stock. The priceis *********. With the Board's blessing we intend topurchase 50 rolls for the club. Yes, a lifetime supply. Itwill be delivered to us at the PGI.So while the supply of time fuse (and number of suppliers)is dwindling rapidly, we will store it and have it availablefor our members to use for devices shot at any of our shoots.It will also be available for us to use when we compete ordo a PGI display (someday)." Soo im guessing this is what the "Shortage " is , ....china wont share... Stay Safe and Stay Green ~Steven

frederick Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Still waiting to hear from Johnny but was told over at Fireworking that there is a ban on component exports from China to keep others from taking business away from them. Would you mind defining components Dag? Does this mean different types of fuse or every fireworks related component. It seems very odd they would ban components out of fear of competition considering they already own the market. I could believe a ban intended to elevate cost, but competition?
dagabu Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Components such as fuse, time fuse, stars, quick match. The rest is available world wide.
