Yeah, you know the stuff. Type of fuse used in fireworks, airsoft smoke grenades etc. Is it legal to buy and own?
If so where can i get a load?
Cheers!

BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Begs the question Toddy.... How come you knew?
Ah! I did t know how to look for it but I just typed firework fuse and found a bunch of UK sites.
That's a long story 
However, I have also sourced a dirt cheap source of magnesium, £10.99 per kg.

that would make enough bars of it for shaving down to keep a lot of bushcrafters happy

That stuff is scary; you don't have time to change your mind or put it out :yikes:

I just knew you would know lol
Any bit of paper soaked in a Saltpeter solution then dried works just like blue touch paper.
As a teenager mine was more Yellowpages Touch Paper.

Saltpetre is a brilliant thing
However, those commercially produced fuses burn with pretty accurate timings (thank all the gods ) while the diyyellowpagesrandomkitchenstring type are not quite so good at the peace of mind thing.
That said, one can become very good at getting one's fuses reliably timed within a second or so per 30. Careful weighing before and after the saltpetre-ing stage really helps.

I think it really begs the question is why Samon wants to know where to get it! Will the badgers be safe?
Small world as it is, the owner of that company is pretty well known to members on here, he hosts meets
I try to link to folks we know rather than folks who are just good at their advertising, iimmc.

An effective delayed fuse is an ordinary cigarette. Just light it, put it down, and lay the cherrybomb/M-80 with it's fuse about across the cigarette halfway down (for a 3 minute delay) or nearer the end (for a 5 to seven minute delay) That gives you the delay time to be out of the restroom and far enough away to have an alibi.
Or so I've been told
I've got about half a kilo of potassium nitrate powder, I used it to impregnate cotton rope when I made a batch of slow matches.
Is there anything fun I can make with it? I'll have a try making some fuses with it and I may have to buy a few rolls o the real stuff!
I also hear that it is LEGAL to make up to 100grams of experimental black power in the UK without the need of a licenses..

You'll be getting your doors kicked off dude by men with guns.
Your basically talking about bomb making materials.

I get the feeling he's planning on living somewhere off grid without doors. Although that could lead to living somewhere where the uniformed staff closes the doors behind you. LOL
