Ignition supplies for Cannons - fuse

[CZgunNUTZ]

Having lots of issues getting visco, Thermilite and other igniter cord in BC. Anyone know of a good source?

Keep getting "we can't sell this to you without a pyro license..." Bs or " none in stock".

FYI - There is nothing under the current explosives act that would prohibit a PAL licensed person from buying safety fuse.

Did you try Rustywood? They list it

And you shouldn't need a PAL or any other license for any of that, same category as primers, powder etc. Simple ID is all you need, and then for certain things only...

In our cannon shoot (full size cannon) we simply trickle 4fg into the hole and light it up

I know for sure that RW carries cannon fuse as a regular product. If he doesn't have it at the moment it's only because he has used it all up shooting cabbages or teddy bears into the wild grey yonder...

Ha ha ours is coming up this weekend or next, just an open house at the range but we man a ~3" bore cannon all day long. Go through a TON of blackpowder and tin can/concrete "cannon balls".

Mini- cannon at our rendezvous at Malahat range near Victoria this weekend. Most use fuse bought from RW Trading in Mission . A few have made percussion nipple and fire with a hammer but BBQ lighter and fuse work just fine. Any BP enthusiasts welcome at the rendezvous Friday to Monday. Cheers
