gunner1 Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Hope this is ok place to put this. If not, please put it where it would be best. I was wondering if anyone knew perhaps an actual visco manufacturer where I could buy a whole spool of visco. That would probably last damn near a lifetime. Buying it at $7-$8 for 50ft is a little expensive over time.
oskarchem Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Have a look on pyrocreations. I think that they sell 1000ft rolls.

qwezxc12 Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 That's where I got mine: Their "coated 2MM waterproof Chinese fuse" works out to $45/k ft., which a pretty good deal from a distributer.
tentacles Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) I paid $25/k for a couple rolls about a month ago... but the place doesn't ship. It's 2.6mm, well lacquered and tons of fire. A roll isn't really all that much visco.. even if it's a 5k or 10k roll. Edited November 16, 2008 by tentacles
AprenticeChemist Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 I don't know if its still up and running but when I was into pyrotechnics Cannonfuse.com was definitely a great place to get fuse.
Swede Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 A bit late to this thread, and slightly OT: How well does visco store? If you've got a couple of bulky rolls, is there a good method for long-term storage? Currently, all my fuse (including effects fuses like flying fish) is carefully wound, inserted into a super-heavy ziploc, and those are in turn placed in a giant ammo can, such as the ones that hold linked 25mm cannon shells. Even that thing is packed pretty tightly, and one more fuse purchase would overwhelm it. Thoughts?

Swede, I store all of mine in Rubbermaid/Tupperware types of tubs.I have been doing this for years with adding a desacant package for moisture absobtion and have not had any problems. I purchased the desacant bags off e-bay and I install a couple of them in each container. I have toyed with using a large tub that came with my vacuum sealer and giving that a whirl, but haven't done it yet.
tentacles Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Swede, visco should be storable for years without any problems.. Even if it gets damp, you should be able to dry it out and use it. Right now I'm storing my roll on top of my kegerator, it's a nice warm dry spot until I figure out where I'm going to keep it long term.
