fireworks Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I recently ordered some blue falling leaves fuse from Skylighter. It seems that every time I try to fire it out of a tube or out of the end of a rocket, the bp just fires it out without lighting it. Does this fuse need priming or am I just doing something wrong?

TheSidewinder Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yes, I believe it does. First, make your cuts in the fuse at a 45 degree angle to expose more of the core. Then dip just the cut tip in NC lacquer, and coat with 4fG or other powder with nice, sharp edges. It worked great for me with flying fish fuse.

TrueBluePyro Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I actually tried Ralph's Pyro butter and pressed it into a 3/8" like i would make a normal portfire. It burned with a large flame {purple-ish}.And INCREDIBLY slow! I would recomend this for Portfires or torches,not especially bright or hot but a little Al should do the trickI might do Ralph a favor and upload a video. Hay mate do you think you could put up a video? I wouldnt mind watching it, lol I want a good portfire to lit my shows, and how long can you store it?

Ventsi Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Hay mate do you think you could put up a video? I wouldnt mind watching it, lol I want a good portfire to lit my shows, and how long can you store it? I suppose you could , personally I wouldn’t recommend it , I was able to put the flame out by striking the *port fire * against the ground. I would personally recommend this white composition out of experience, hotter flame , less dross more consistent flame , larger flame envelope. Sure it burns faster but when i put 2" of it on top of a fountain I got a "BOOORING!' out of my friends, 2 inches burnt for ~ 50 seconds. http://www.apcforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=3360 I would wet it using plain Alcohol to help consolidate in the tube PM me for details Edited April 19, 2009 by Ventsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBluePyro Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hmm thanks mate, that is a really easy white just for those chems I'm gonna have to try it, and 2" = 50sec, that is a very good amount of time, and I hate dross so this may be for me Here is a video of it, if your to lazy to click the one above and search for it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj7r_BpkcsQ...feature=channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventsi Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) 'Ere ya go matey. You can see that I easily light the second fuse using the KNO3 White mix. Edited April 23, 2009 by Ventsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having no composition by weight I just kept adding fine KNO3 until... well it was crumbly. Im guessing the Al greatly improved the burnrate and the smoothness of it.If you could please give us the composition by parts[weight].I still like the mix i was using since its simple and its listed as a "White Fire' formulae.
