Go to your local hobby store or some place with model rockets. Buy the green fuse. Shit burns nice and good and is water proof to boot.

No idea here. Why not just leave it in what ever it comes in? Dunno someone else answer this.

Personally I'm a fan of the M-80's. Even now it's fun just to get some, tape em to a GI-Joe and boom, instant fun. Dunno roman candles are fun too, espically if you get a bunch and have fights with your friends (Were a mask and long clothing for God's sake)

What ever you do be careful and when in doubt run like hell!

1. Go to your local gun store.
2. Ask them how much cannon fuse is.
3. Buy it.

If they give you any shit tell them it is for your black powder cannon (I used to have one, if you ever have a chance to buy one, do it). Dress like a normal person i.e. don't wear your baggy jeans around your ass with your WooTang tshirt. Try to sound like you know what you are talking about. Don't mention how much you hate your teachers, parents, peers at school, or local police.

You only get ten fingers in this life (unless they can graft your toes on to your hand) and there is no reason to risk yous just because you were too cheap to buy some nice slow burning cannon fuse.
