How to Fuse Together Fireworks
When putting on fireworks shows while at my Wisconsin cabin, I had many issues in regards to joining visco fuses, so I found some handy info to share with all the fireworks fans out there.
Linking visco to other forms of fuse is consistent, fast and very easy. Visco burns gradually and contributes to plenty of sparks and red-hot red-hot puddles if its the lacquer-coated nitrocellulose type, which possibly could flare up all other variations of fuse without any issues. We refer to the word "visco" in the techniques below to both fast and slow visco, due to its correlated assembly and somewhat similar burn speed.
Joining visco to visco
This procedure is most normally used for joining 500 gram multishot or artillery shells to a single fuse. I have thought that a good technique for fusing is basically to place the 2 firework fuses next to one another and overlay them by approximately an inch, then attach them with zip ties, electrical tape, masking tape, or duct tape. As the burning front of the lead firework fuse comes into connection with the secondary fuse, the strong heat burns through the thread casting of the second fuse and flares up its core. Even before this occurs, the fire from the primary fuse usually ignites the black powder core of the bare end of the secondary fuse. For efficient dependability, use a sharp blade to cut the secondary fuse at a 45 degree angle to display additional core. It also does not hurt to cover the joined fireworks fuse in some tape to assist the focus the fire.When linking chunks of secondary visco (for instance from a artillery shell) to a big, uninterrupted piece of leading visco, bend the last inch of the secondary fuse at an angle so to allow it to lie next to the primary fuse, with it"s end pointing in the route that the fire will be coming from. Attach it with tape or zip ties.
