crumbbum25 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I am trying to reinvent the wheel. I don't have the wherewithal to build a visco machine, yet i want a slow burning fuse. I have seen numerous things about slow fuse ways. Some are great but they don't flex! I want a flexible fuse! I just did a test run of green mix and rubber cement coated cotton twine. Not the best at all. Flexed great, I mean great, burned poorly. Next I will thin it with acetone to get more bp less latex. I'm thinking I may add more kno3 too in a different test. The smell though. It reminded me of stuff from a long time ago. I'm thinking I might be on to something. Any input, thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zumber Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 You can also make use of cotton thread and bp slurry ( and binder) And make slow burning black match dry it and just wrap that bare match into kozo type paper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbbum25 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 That was a really neat video. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbbum25 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I'm still going to try and perfect my thought. It's basically blackmatch with a rubber binder. I just need to get the proportions correct. I thought came from homemade match being fairly stiff so in using rubber it would be very flexible and waterproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zumber Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Rubber in the sense parlon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbbum25 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I'm assuming it's Latex. I left my acetone at the shop and used some elmers rubber cement in a pinch.it was way too heavy on the latex because I couldn't thin it out but the properties that i want were there.

Richtee Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Sharkwhisperer was messing around with this... I tried it once. The smell and toxic clouds rule it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbbum25 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I know, it has an "odor" to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
