WARNING: This website is for reference only. Do not try this at home. Making reworks can cause
serious injury or even death. You'll most likely need a Federal License to make any sort of
pyrotechnic project.

Our goal here is to take a few commonly found chemicals and combine them in this recipe to allow
for a safe, slow burning fuse for all your pyrotechnic projects. Making your own fuses allows for
cheaper rework projects and better safety ! You can add distance to any of your homemade
projects to allow for more time to get out of the blast zone. Using your own fuse can be a great
safety tip for your holiday celebrations.

You may have read our previous guide about making your
own reworks fuse (http://howtomake reworks.org/how-to-make-a-homemade- reworks-fuse/) but
this tutorial o ers a step by step process on how to make a much more professional and slow burn-
ing rework fuse. Some may know this as cannon fuse or visco fuse.

This guide will require a heating element that you’re okay with getting dirty. We suggest you use
something other than your kitchen stove. Some folks use their outside grill or purchase a hot plate
(http://amzn.to/1jNhsGg) for easy clean up and storage.
