In the U.S.

 

Sulfur: Zamzows, Home Depot, Lowes.

KNO3: Home depot (stump remover) farm supply store ( fertilizer)

 

KNO3 sugar fuse can be fairly reliable depending on the application. Black powder fuse, blackmatch, is superior overall.

Sulfur is sold in some gardening stores as "dusting sulfur" or "Wetable sulfur" or something to that effect. It's generally around 90% pure, but 99-100% is available sometimes too. You may have to crush it. I believe it is commonly used with rose gardening.

 

KNO3/Sugar fuse is inferior in most ways to BP based fuse. Mainly it is hygroscopic, which will degrade the quality over time. I believe they will actually burn slower.

moneybags, just so you don't wonder, I deleted your identical question in the other thread. No need to repeat it, and it looks like you got some good advice in this one.
