dangerousamateur Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 In the past I had a spool of 2mm Visco, obviously chinese, wich I was not happy with. I never had any failures, but this stuff breaks IMHO to easily when bent. When you bend it many times the powder rinses out. I don't like that. Now, in europe a polish vendor offers this stuff:http://www.pyrogarage.com/img/fuse/30mm_1hq.jpghttp://www.pyrogarage.com/img/fuse/3mm-cs01.jpghttp://www.pyrogarage.com/img/fuse/3mm-cs02.jpghttp://www.pyrogarage.com/img/fuse/3mm-cs03.jpg"This fuse is made of a different technique than the common Visco which contains string inside. Our product consists of 5 paper fuses, double-wrapped by the string and carefully coated with nitrocellulose lacquer. This makes it totally unbreakable!" Totally enbreakable - sounds nice. How does this fuse behave in general, did someone here has made some experience with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpy Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I have 100m of this fuse I was sent as a sample by pyrogarage, it is very good, better than any Visco I have seen. I've tried bending and pulling it and I must say it is far stronger than it looks.The question I ask is,'What is it I look for in a good fuse?'1. A high quality product that can be bent and twisted and will still perform, whatever the price.2. A cheap fuse that doesn't fail to ignite whatever I use it with.

dangerousamateur Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks for your opinion. Well, there are some applications where I want to use only the best there is. I have nothing particular in my mind. Normally I use cheap stuff off course. Anybody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks for your opinion. Well, there are some applications where I want to use only the best there is. I have nothing particular in my mind. Normally I use cheap stuff off course. Anybody else? I have found a few applications where visco broke due to bending it around a sharp corner or feeding it through a hole in a tube. I think this would be a fantastic solution for that issue. I cant wait to see it in the US soon. -dag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potassiumchlorate Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) This far I have only made stuff that I light manually. I have 3mm and 2mm Visco of a relatively cheap sort. The 2mm is a bit weak, and my spool is damaged on a couple of spots, but this far it hasn't failed. I'll probably test Pyrogarage later this year. Right now I have to give priority to boring but necessary stuff like repairing my car etc. *Sigh* Edited March 30, 2012 by Potassiumchlorate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
