Guys,
A friend of mine has a small fully working canon which was made and regularly fired, by his late grandfather at family events.
He wants to be able to use it again, but cannot find anywhere that sells very thin fuse wire..... any suggestions?

I use the Visco fuse. Green fuse burn rate is 1cm/sec from memory and it's very cheap.

It would indeed, the question is what class of protection, fine or coarse?

If you need protection for screws, maybe consult Messrs. Durex & Co ?

You'll find a lot of threads go off on a tangent but we all mean well
