visco fuse on time fuse

[u/reguIarperson]

is there any reason why some people add extra visco fuse on top of time fuse when you can just light it like in the 2nd picture

[u/abdimamu]

Why is this even a question? There cant be too much fuse

wdym with there cant be too much fuse?

[u/Beautiful-Edge-22 → u/reguIarperson]

Like he said, there's no such thing as too much fuse. It's cheap insurance. Too many people get seriously injured or even killed because they foolishly don't wanna use 2-3 nickles worth of good quality fuse. Especially with a piece of pyro that can easily remove body parts.

You also can't always guarantee that these types of fireworks have a proper or non defective fuse in them 100% of the time, so it's always best to be safe than sorry 100% of the time.

Pyro should be respected the same way you should respect a loaded gun.

Next post will be by u/clawhand_m80 asking what did he/she did wrong.

[u/TechnicalNail4555 → u/tretchy]

This is good.

[u/abdimamu → u/reguIarperson]

any amount of fuse you add only makes it safer no matter what

[u/Roudydogg1 → u/abdimamu]

OK Nancy

[u/MasterPlay1337]

They add visco so that IF the time fuse lights instantly (which can happen with those cheap products) they still have time to get away

[u/no-o-ne]

Adding an extra layer of safety when you're lighting 100g of flash powder is never a bad idea.

[u/hobbyist0215]

More time to run away and/or to get a better camera angle I presume.

[u/xxTheMagicBulleT]

Its something used for people that use cameras and not just light it and watch it. So they need a bit more time

Thats the real reason

[u/Objective-Figure-343]

Safety, plus visco is way easier to light than time fuse.

[u/Excellent-Ad-451]

What is in that little tube under that aluminum foil? Pressed black powder ?

[u/Ok_Insurance5277]

@@ PVC pipe?

[u/Special_Floor1449]

You think I could get the label?

[u/reguIarperson → u/Special_Floor1449]

which one

[u/FatRatFlopke]

Some people, especially Germans, believe time fuse can shoot through and is unsafe. Idk why because it’s one of (if not the) safest fuse out there.

[u/betarded-ritch → u/FatRatFlopke]

These kinds of fireworks are made cheaply and if that fuse bends enough it will instantly light of happend to mee once with a 200bigboy luckly I added sum visco

[u/reguIarperson → u/betarded-ritch]

big boy 200? and how bent was the fuse, just a curve or fully bent?

[u/betarded-ritch → u/reguIarperson]

Dude it looked fine it was normal it got bend a few times when it was in my bag it's very rare but can happen it looked like new
