How to Make a Pull Ring Fuse
You first need a book of paper matches
You also need some masking or painters tape and a small piece of duct(duck) tape. And a paper clip
You new to pull the matches out of the book, but save the striker. Set the striker aside, you'll use that later
You then cut the staple from the matches. Set 2 matches aside with the striker.
You then need to pull the remaining matches into groups of 2s or 3s.
You then need to take the masking tape and take a 3inch strip. I made mine longer and stuck it to the table to make it easier
You then take the sets of matches and line them up with the paper, like in the photo
Once you have that done you need to take a second piece of tape and put it on top of the matches
You then need to cut off the " shaft "of the match just below the match head. You should have something like this
Now you take the striker from before and put a piece of duck tape on the back and trim the excess tape off. You then take a paper clip and make a ring with it.
You then need to take the 2 matches that you set aside before and take them to the side of the fuse. You then need to trim off the tape that covers the colored match head. ( I set my matches too high, that's why it didn't light right away in the video.)
You then put the striker through the loop of the paper clip and put it over the matches. Then put a rubber band around it. The tight ER the rubber band is, the tougher it is to pull, bu I it's too loose it won't light
And it's done!!! Feel free to comment and/or follow me. Thanks( sorry I can only get a link to the video)
