alright, well the jist of it, i need someone to buy locally or online abunch of fireworks fuses and send then express mail to me up in canada,

if a mod has any problem with this feel free to delete this, sort of running out of options

now the full story

were planning a suprise for a real good friend of mine and were setting up a few fireworks, unfortunatly you cant buy or get anyone to ship fuses to canada since its not legal even though fireworks are, i tried looking all around and even tried making a couple without any good results, the reason i need the fuse is since we have a few fireworks we would like to set off at once so need one to split into a couple and lite them up at the same time

and its planned for next weekend so its rather urgent 02.gif

if anyone can help me out in which ever way feel free to pm me

thanks alot!

If all else fails, you can make your own. You said you tried to, what did you use?
You can make some pretty good fuses with a saltpeter/sugar mixture, and soak twists of toilet paper in it.
I'm not sure if talking about homemade fuses is really acceptable on here, so if you want more info on that PM me.

i tried a match head acetone combo, didnt work to well but had to use wooden match heads and not paper so the paper might work better, ill pm you

ya we have several hobby shops around here with model rockets, but they all use electric igniters, so you have a 9v box with a button and then 2 prongs ( + and - ) which connect to the + and - terminals at the bottom of the rocket engine

well like i said, there all electric, like the rocket engines have 2 prongs that come out the bottom that you hook up to a 9v source and press a button to ignite

the fireworks have a fuse on them that you actually need a fire from a lighter to get going unless theres a way in doing this that im not seeing
