i was thinking of using a 15mm motor and a 10mm tube to make the header i am just not quite sure how to construct it
i am guessing that it will need solid clay plug one end i am not sure how to make the other end
i have made the F#### powder for it

Paper or card cut or punched with a hole in for the fuse glued in securely you probably want 3times the wall thickness, B
