MrB Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 There is a section for stores, and thats where i'd suggest sharing user opinions... Makes it a LOT easier to find when the next guy tries to figure out if a source is reputable or not.On the topic of the fuse... I got that exact fuse, from said supplier, and it seams they manufacture it in large spools, which then gets cut down to size. If a section isn't long enough to make a full roll, they simply tape two sections together. It's the first time i've ever seen that. The roll had a couple of bonus feet of fuse, so i cant complain to much. But i would much rather have had a continues roll delivered, for consistency's sake. To be fair the burn time between the two bits were similar enough that the difference is less then the human factor, but... I dunno. It's perhaps common practice, i just never had it delivered that way before. B! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 This fuse is manufactured in China, and distributed all over the world. They produce it on large spools and pack them in smaller portions for easy shipping. (and hide it so they can ship 1.4) The manufacturer has to stop production once in a while when the paper roll is empty or the threads are empty. It is actually a crude machine, a large version of our homemade visco machines, with an extra tar-adding device and a thin paper wrapper. So, it doesn't come as clean as you want it... some pieces are taped together. In the end it doesn't matter because this fuse is produced only for time-fusing shells. You''ll cut it in short pieces anyways. That's why the manufacturer sells it the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I once bought reels of 100m twin flex (which obviously came from China) these were in several pieces too. I though it was strange that there was no continuity from one end to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrB Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 So, it doesn't come as clean as you want it... some pieces are taped together. In the end it doesn't matter because this fuse is produced only for time-fusing shells. You''ll cut it in short pieces anyways.It's not the "cleanness" that bothered me. It's the fact that it's different batches fuse. Generally speaking i take a sample from each end of the spool, time it, and i "know" what the fuse is good for. Here i had to sample it in both ends, twice, just as if it was 2 rolls. Again, not a huge deal, there was more then enough "extra" on the roll to cover the waste, but it was just not something i've ever experienced before.B!

If only one take a kg of the medium grade for all purpose or the coarse if you want long tails.But all those quantities you listed will be used up very fast.

(like Aluminum which I already have) I prefer the 225-450 mic. titan, but i agree with schroedinger, if you can afford, buy a titan set! But in sunrise yellow don't must use fine particle MgAl! Pirotex use 80mesh, maybe... ...and again agree with schroedinger, this quantity is too small, not worth small quantities to order! kg not g!

Btw this charcoal is only for stars, I already have some willow for BP Edited February 3, 2015 by Stef727 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can afford it, ALWAYS buy kg. Never g. Because the "price per kg" will be higher, and you have to order again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
