Which fuse is commonly referred to as Visco fuse, consisting of a gunpowder core encased in a waterproof textile wrap?

• A. No Fire Current
• B. Portfire
• C. Safety Fuse (Visco Fuse)
• D. Quick Match

Answer: (C)

The fuse described is a safety fuse, commonly called Visco fuse. It is designed to burn slowly and predictably, with a gunpowder core wrapped in a waterproof textile casing. That waterproof wrap lets it work reliably in wet conditions, making it ideal for timing fireworks effects outdoors. Other fuses don’t match this function: a portfire is used to light fuses themselves and isn’t a timing fuse; quick match is a fast-burning fuse used for rapid ignition and is not waterproof or steady in burn rate; the “no fire current” option isn’t a fuse type used in pyrotechnics.
