is anyone else going to be blowing stuff up on the 4th ? my local fireworks tent sold both pink Fast Burning and green slower burning time fuse . but this year they don't have any . Fuse or the plastic 4-way connectors .anybody have a link to a fireworks house that would have fireworks accessories? Make it a click friendly link please.:$

I was able to
find the cannon fuse but I couldn't find the plastic connectors anywhere everybody was out of stock. I substituted small pieces of twist tie. and judicious use of masking tape. I had a 10 rack of Excaliburs mortar tubes I reloaded 3 times anda 4 rack of the smaller Goliath tubes that I reloaded 4 times. plus dozens of roman candles with only two Roman candles failure to light. and 1 mortar. That the fuse bypassed I was pretty proud of my pyrotechnics skills.;)

So I take it you were smart enough (and sober enough) not to launch any from your body (like your head or your chest)?

Speaking from personal experience you can be stupid as long as you're lucky.

You don't run into trouble until you combine dumb and not lucky.

I have a healthy respect for those mortar tubes. I have seen what happens when you load a shell upside down. It's scary as hell. Every skydiver knows it's usually a chain of mistakes that gets you. I bet these guys had got away with holding a mortar tube before. But loaded it incorrectly
And that's what got them.:S
