Hi Guys.



One thing Ive run out of recently and want more of is (curently only ) PL10 monetti time fuse, its the type most Plasticos Gamon shells are designed to take with a thick plastic outer measuring 10mm OD

As shipping is not cheap and I doubt I need 250m of the stuff myself Im finding out if any other suitable folks want to go in on the order for either full 250m packs, individual 50m rolls or parts of them?

Im considering ordering other sizes too as there is PL5, PL6, PL8 and PL10 which is very good for time delays in chains, Im going to make a cutting machine to make my own time delays of any length from it so you can have it cut to length if you wish too.

If anyone really is interested in largish (100's) amounts of 1 second to 5 second delays I could be persuaded to simply buy pre cut delays in those sizes too as they come as PL10 diameter but in differing colours to designate their burn time.

PLEASE PM or email me soon as Im wanting to get on with this asap.

Phill

OOps I forgot to mention pricing, its currently looking at around the £120 give or take as a safe price per 50m roll, cheaper if u get a few as Ill be able to split the shipping and cheaper if loads of folks want some for the same reason. it could get as low as £100 or even £95 per 50m if we get enough interest. As long as ive my prices right and decyphered there email corectly then it should be right anyway.

cant quote prices on the pl5 6 and 8 but there cheaper, per m 5mm is about 1/3 the cost as is 6mm and 8mm is about 2/3 the cost. BUT asthey have minimum quantities you or a group would have to get enough to justify it. Advantage still being splitting the shipping more ways.

Ohh and I forgot to mention too Im getting it t make my own time delays so I can show anyone wanting them too how to easilly, ive a video up doing it to have a butchers at as the HUGE surface area means no cross matching or priming needed

video is at for all to see

I'll stick to spolettina

Not sure naked flames to activate heat shrink containing fuses is the most sensible idea in the world, especially on your kitchen!

Can you get hold of the thincker (6mm) red Monetti?

Are you getting the fuse direct from Monetti or are you using their UK distributer (pains)?

It is like Spolettina! its just that they use the pre cut time delays which are colour coded already rather than all blue and I did have a go at them a long time ago too!

Lighter used to show that the shrink wrap protects it, Id suggest a hot air gun for larger amounts or even better a steam gun.

The Red PL6 is THINNER than the blue PL10 not thicker? The number at the end is the OD of the time fuse but yes I can get the PL6 its around 1/3 the cost so a lot cheaper but has a 800m minimum order ? Ill hapilly order and take some myself if people let me know what there after.

Direct from Monetti, they no longer have a UK distributor according to them?

[digger]

I could do with a few boxes of PL6. I will give them a call later. I assume we can share some of the shipping costs by amalgamating into one shipment.

I would be interested in 100m of the thinner (that's what I meant!) PL6

[Karl Mitchell-Shead]

But it's the cost of time to do it! Time = money.

Phil if you set up the jigs and find a quick system to produce ACCURATE delays then I reckon there is some money to be made. Just remember it's patented so you couldn't market it.

Hi Phill,

If the PL10 is used for shells and delays what are the smaller sizes used for?

Does it come with the heat shrink tube & clip tool also?

Cheers,

Gavin

The yanks make em (buckets) with coin wrappers and timefuse.
By the way, if this turns into too much of a scrap we might find that Monetti will refuse to suppy Phill under pressure from spolett ina.
