Here is something useful for someone with fuse lighted smoke devices. If there is interest or you don't understand the instructions I will post some pics for a small Tut. It comes from my IM handbook TM 31-210 Pg 153-154. Titled "Igniter from book of matches"
Basically you take an old fashioned book of paper matches, pop the staple out. Remove the cover with the striking surface and the match's. Wrap one row of match's around fuse, heads of match's at tip of fuse and tape in place.
Next Take the match book cover make it into a tube with striking surface inside of tube, make sure this fits tightly over the Match fuse assembly. You want the striking surface near the match heads. Fold the rest of the match book cover over and tape it. Now you have a pull type igniter for your fused smoke devices. Properly made and keeping it dry, works like a charm.
Note: the fuse must be secured in the device or you could accidentally pull it completely out. Rendering your device useless. Also practice safety, those of us who have done amateur rocketry have seen out fair share of accidents.
If you don't have experience working with chemicals you should seek out someone who has knowledge and is willing to show you in a safe environment. You only have one life and one body, be a shame to loose your life or a body part over ignorance. Be safe.
