i know everyone loves kraft strips of tape.... why don't they just use masking tape? Which one gives a better break? I've got lots of both, but i prefer using masking tape.
I understand the sealing of the fuse to the hemi, but very the END of the fuse is what I'm talking about - in our shop, we wrap a small piece of tape around the end as soon as the fuse is glued in. BTW: I'm 20 years+ shooting pro shows and hobbyist. Wheat pasted paper for years, used the WASP from 3" up to 12" at shop, but at home I'm going to hand gum tape my next 5" for competition this year. Keep up the good work. Have fun and stay green.
Great job and video. Only thing is put some tape on the end of the time fuse, you can dud your shell if it gets wet, not to mention accidental ignition. Stay green.
@ianspaintpot Still looking for the DVD from the second camera. There was a second camera there covering the whole procedure from a different angle. I'll try to search and upload it asap.
At end of video: "paper tube, away with you!" person off camera: "it's ok little tubey. I'll pick you up" *stands tube up*. lol.

@noluck10 There is a lot of glue around the fuse, fire does not pass even without paper. Glue is also placed from the inside and outside.

btw the first layer is reinforced gummed tape. That's why it looks so weird. The next layers are simple gummed tape.

So nice to see that others too make tutorials where they show the whole procedure, not only photos or brief explanations...!
