Disadvantages: Takes fire easily - can be ignited prematurely by sparks unless well protected. Not available for purchase, has to be hand made adding extra time to show prep. Top
Sticky Match to Safety Fuse
Again, here you want to cut the safety fuse at an angle to expose its core. Align the end of the safety fuse with the sticky match core and fold the sticky edges around it. If igniting multiple pieces of safety fuse across a length of sticky match, it works well to lay the safety fuse perpendicular to the sticky match core, then cut a 2" strip of sticky match and sandwich the piece of safety fuse between it and the main length of sticky.
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. |  |

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.
