[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anywhere to buy cannon fuse locally?

Posted: 8/8/2015 11:01:20 AM EST

Looking for different kinds of fuses locally to avoid hazmat. I travel to NH and VT frequently so that's not out of the question, but would prefer local if possible.

I bought cannon fuse a few years ago for my fireworks display. I don't remember paying any hazmat fees.

Thanks for the link Mike. I tried a few other sites and they all charged hazmat? I wonder if these guys are outside US and don't care?

Traditions in Old Saybrook used to sell it. They still sell the mini-cannons, so its possible that they do.

The last time I ordered was in 2010. I just checked the box I store my fuse in and I still had the original packing slip. I ordered several hundred feet of fuse in different burn rates. I was charged a little over $10.00 in shipping. No other charges were listed. I don't know if any laws have changed that would require the additional hazmat fees. I basically have a lifetime supply as I only use about 10 feet a year.

What do you consider "local"? Greenwich? Mystic? Litchfield? Hartford? Pomfret?

I've got some that I have no use for if you'd like it. It's black and is pretty slow burning, iirc. Don't have a mile of it but a few feet if you want it. Just email me. I'm in Enfield,

Thanks for all the replies guys. I travel the whole state for work, so litterally anywhere in CT is "local".

I really appreciate the offer Rome, but it is for 37mm stuff, I would need specific size/burn rate.

I bought some cannon fuse from a company called "pyro creations" for a mini-cannon I have. Did not charge me haz-mat fees. They have a whole section for fuses with different burn rates and sizes.

Pyro Creations Fuses

I have ordered from them twice so far, and no issues either time.

Allot of their stuff seems to be aimed at the home-made fireworks people. If that's what you are doing with the fuse, then they should be able to help you out.

I checked at Center Sports Columbia yesterday - Jimmy said he ran out 4th of July weekend and has been waiting for another shipment.
