What do you want the fuse to do. "Fast". 100 fps? 7km/sec???
And what does the fuse need to light at the other end.
Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.
Anatol Rapoport was a Russian-born American mathematical psychologist (1911-2007).

You do know there is an energetic materials sub forum here? If you want to post there (or any other sub forum outside of beginnings) you will need to
follow the guidelines in the FAQ:
Forum topics
And PLEASE remember!
It is ALLWAYS better to post in an existing thread than to open a new one!!!
As your main interest appears to be pyrotechnics, you might want to read a few references in the sciencemadness.org library-
Chemistry of powder and explosives - Tenney Davis
If you don't have easy access to common pyrotechnic chemicals, you will probably find the ingredients for THIS even harder to access- But it fits your

And since it 'a New Year's Eve-
