Quick Match for slow sequence fireworks part 2 of 2

I was going to wait a week to post this video to go with the completed part 2 however just to keep me honest I will post part one now. I will be helping with a private fireworks display soon and will make this board one of the firings. I received an email from a gentleman shooting fireworks in the United Kingdom at a military base for returning pilots. He has consumer type fireworks and is lighting them one at a time and wanted to set up a display that would light one cake after the other. He does have quick match but is unable to get Visco fuse. I gave him my advice and here it is in video form. I am doing this experiment with quick match and quick fuse to see what the results will be. The last cakes in the firing are an experiment for me to see if the fire will safely ignite the first mortar on the last cakes. Or it just may blow the side of the cake out I do not know. We will all have to wait at least 7 to 10 days until my second posting on the results. I hate to keep you waiting but I have to wait also. But in the end perhaps we will all learn something new and fun.

I've done this many times only problem in this equation is the failure to remove plugs and slid match/fuse under shot.... Safest way is your first method. I personally pull Visco and insert black match into first tube or quick fuse, makes response time instant! But I'm always careful to gently insert new fuse/match and the same with pulling original visco leader.

First i want to say that i didn't know about this way to connect cakes with quickmatch, i think i'm going to try it this year!

But what i saw from the video was that it worked with the 3rd and 4th cake, but the quickmatch to the last 2 cakes didn't go off at all! So what i'm wondering is: Is this way to connect cakes really effective? Or do you recommend another method?

I want to know this because i want to make a show and i don't want it to fail throughout the show.

Sorry for my Englis

If you're afraid of cops, then that obviously means you shouldn't be lighting fireworks in your area. Laws are laws. Don't break them. It only causes problems.

I recon it would work, (and it did) but before I saw it, I thought it would have worked because alot of flame comes out of that tube and BM is fairly easy to light.

thats why i didnt say anything till it was tested

[jmvd20]

Fair enough.

Of course the only way to know for sure is to try though! Experimenting is good.

[Ralphgtx280]

becuse i had not tried lighting a cake from the top i had always assumed it wouldn't work and it did prove to be unrelible

[jmvd20]

While what you said is true I must ask - If you didn't want to say it until after it was tested then why say it now?

[LIONELTRAINS4LIFE]

no problem!
