FIREWORK FUSING AND CONNECTIONS

STICKY MATCH

Like quick match, the rapid burn time of sticky match requires that it make as much contact as possible with the secondary fuse.  Luckily, its sticky nature makes this a bit easier.

Sticky Match to Quick Match

Cut off about 1" of the quick match pipe and lay the stick match across it, folding the sticky edges around the quick match pipe.  You may wish to lightly secure this connection with a piece of duct tape or masking tape. sticky-quick02 sticky-quick

Stick the ends of the sticky match together, overlapping by about and inch. You can also branch  off multiple secondary fuses from a long length of primary as long as the powder cores overlap. top
