crumbbum25 Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I am trying to reinvent the wheel. I don't have the wherewithal to build a visco machine, yet i want a slow burning fuse. I have seen numerous things about slow fuse ways. Some are great but they don't flex! I want a flexible fuse! I just did a test run of green mix and rubber cement coated cotton twine. Not the best at all. Flexed great, I mean great, burned poorly. Next I will thin it with acetone to get more bp less latex. I'm thinking I may add more kno3 too in a different test. The smell though. It reminded me of stuff from a long time ago. I'm thinking I might be on to something. Any input, thoughts?
Zumber Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Cant you purchase safety fuse? Or is it not available there?
Zumber Posted February 4 Posted February 4 You can also make use of cotton thread and bp slurry ( and binder) And make slow burning black match dry it and just wrap that bare match into kozo type paper. 1
crumbbum25 Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 I'm still going to try and perfect my thought. It's basically blackmatch with a rubber binder. I just need to get the proportions correct. I thought came from homemade match being fairly stiff so in using rubber it would be very flexible and waterproof.
crumbbum25 Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 I'm assuming it's Latex. I left my acetone at the shop and used some elmers rubber cement in a pinch.it was way too heavy on the latex because I couldn't thin it out but the properties that i want were there.
Richtee Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Sharkwhisperer was messing around with this... I tried it once. The smell and toxic clouds rule it out.
