Sorry if this is in the wrong place but did not know where else to ask. Does anyone know where quickfuse for a black powder cannon can be bought. :confused:

Maybe you should define what you mean by quickfuse. Most of us are presuming it to be what we simply refer to a cannon fuse and I presume you are not looking for friction primers or similar. I don't think friction primers are available in Canada unless some of the eastern re enactors have a source for their large cannons.

Try Epp's. In a pinch you can make a fuse with a tube of paper and some fine BP. Use a linstock if you do though.
 
There was someone selling small cannons at a gun show i was at he said he made his own fuse by sticking gunpowder to i piece of tape.He said it worked great and cost almost noting to make.
 
I've heard of the tape/gunpowder one, don't know how well it works.
Last I heard cannon fuse has been banned in Canada. Happened about a year or so ago. Used to get it at SIR, made by Traditions, but they had to pull it off the shelves. If something has changed for the better let me know!
 
Boy....this topic comes up again and again. Fuse is...(was) available in Belleville Ontario at the place that sells all of the fireworks....name eludes my old memory. It is just west of Belleville. Dave......Mystical Distributing, Trenton, Ontario. Well, I was close! 6 Foster Stearns Road, Trenton. 613-394-4957

No, I checked with customs...it's not listed as a restricted import, or otherwise. Is it possible that it has got caught-up in the U.S. export issue along with everything else? :confused: Although it makes no sense that I can drive to the US and buy 75lb bags of ffg GOEX black powder (i.e. as in 2 weeks ago) and bring it back in to Canada, but yet I can't get fuze?

Absurd, as always.....
 
I couldn't find anything on the CBSA website either.
You are allowed to bring 8kg's of blackpowder across the border, but aliens in the USA are not allowed to possess ANY blackpowder whilst in their country.
Blackpowder is listed as an explosive in the States.
Cheers nessy.
