Default what's your favorite source for fuse?

what's your favorite source for fuse?

the best I've ever used was American made 1/8 triple coated cannon fuse I got from a gun store. but at $8 for a 15 foot roll I might as well use time fuse. the second best was a 1/8 double coated fuse I bought at a gun show.

the 1/8 Chinese single and double coated cannon fuse I bought from procreations is adequate, but full of kinks from being tightly spooled and not water resistant enough for my uses. the 2mm fuse I bought from a fire works stand is crap I dont use for any thing but experiments that require a long delay.

if you have a favorite brand or source please share.

They ship fast, prices are good and they have a good variety of fuse.
Also they have no regulations or limitations so far.

Your complaining about $8 (£4) for 15ft?!

The cheapest I can find 15ft of that here is £15 ($30)

That sucks, I payed $30 CAD for 65ft. of 1/8" falling leaf. Yeah, it throws loads of bright sparks but it also burns 55s/ft. rather than the traditional 30s/ft. Yes, I'm cheap. The other option was the same price for 50ft. of visco. I don't think its waterproof though.

Cannonfuse.com.

As for a favorite fuse it would probably be the really flexible Chinese visco that they had a while back. I have a hundred ft of one and about 250ft of another. Plus 20ft-ish of jap time fuse.

I need to get some quick visco... or some real quick match.

Cheapest I had was 16 feet of Chinese 1/16 for £4.50, I know that's not great but I was prepared to pay at the time. I quickly bought 48 feet, and the shops closed now

Cool Re: what's your favorite source for fuse?

Cannonfuse.com Great place, there was a mix up with one of my orders and my next purchase he gave me a great deal, he had a roll of 300ft that was old but still great green american visco and he sold it to me for like $30 I belive or somewhere around there VERY VERY CHEAP. Plus he threw in about a foot of 1/4 time fuse, 15 ft of red visco fuse, 15 ft of Chinese visco, and 10ft of Red/white/blue american visco for me to try out. They shipped fast and good shit. I still got about 200ft of fuse all together. I prefer american visco shits good and waterproof like a mother fucker. But a cool little trick with the 1/16 chinese fuse is that if you want a cheap little trick and you got plenty to spare if you take little 1in peices of the fuse and light it they go flying all around spraying sparks looks pretty cool little kids like watching it lol. Best place to buy it though cannonfuse they fucking OWN ALL.
