Visco, Cross-Match

 

Green, Chinese made, 1 mm diameter. High quality, stiff, fuse for cross-matching 1/4-inch time fuse. Burns at abut 5 seconds per inch. Gives and takes fire without priming. Inexpensive alternative to Thermalite or Manitor ignitor cords. Faster and easier than making black match.

 

From the skylighter site.

 

Has anyone tried this fuse before? I wonder how the results would be wrapping this fuse in a paper tube and using it as QM

If you want pre-made black match buy the firecracker fuse from skylighter...

 

Cross-Match is used to go through time fuse so it can be lit easily by the lift... not for making quickmatch

 

Edit: Make sure to get the "Super-Fast" firecracker fuse...

 

It's 3 strands of blackmatch wrapped in tissue paper...

 

So really 300 ft. of single-core blackmatch if you seperate...

 

Enough for 60 ft. of 5 strand quickmatch...
