Richtee Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Sooo...I assume you color the coating, as your RWB fuse is clear coated, obviously. (I have a 100 foot roll of that... nice stuff.) Is there any other than cosmetic reason for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrogeezer Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Hi Richtee, Your right. We use clear fuse dope on the RWB Visco. The thread manufacture dyes the cotton fo us red and blue, and we include the plain white thread in the outer weave. Victoria Green and Fire Red have been the traditional colors since the 1940s. We have produced other color fuse for special orders (Blue, Orange, Pink), but it requires substantial work to wash out the machines after changing different colors plus a lot of solvent to dispose of. We have dedicated machines for our standard colors so we don't need to clean the coating systems. All of our pyro fuse burns at the same appx. rate 35 to 40 SPF. The color really does not signify anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbbum25 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 That's pretty cool. Do you sell it or is it more a commercial operation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryboy7978 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Good to see you are using the dark green lacquer for the original look again. The bright green is cool but not as good looking as the dark green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrogeezer Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Yes, I like the traditional dark Victoria Green also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richtee Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 While I been partial to the deep green due to 50 years of seeing it, the RWB IS appealing. I know it’s not a fashion contest but I am rather patriotic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrogeezer Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Years past we se to make a beautiful sapphire blue, but it didn't sell well. People thought it had different properties to it which wasn't correct. All of our Pyro Safety Fuse is produced with the same materials and powder.
