liquid cement is liquid glue? if it is, then i suggest you use a bit of round-up with it, you mix the two component, and you obtain a solid but soft paste, which one is flammable. then simply put it in a thin layer of adhesive tape, and voila.

"hook a stun gun up to a 50ft roll of speaker wire"
You would need an exceedingly powerful stun gun to get a charge over that distance. Seriously it would need to be like a million volts.

you can get american visco fuse for like 5 bucks for 50 feet.
why dont you go take an explosives course when you turn 18 and then come back when you actually know what you are talking about
I agree he should know what he is talking about, but you have to be 21 to take an explosives course/get a batfe license. but you wouldn't learn about saftey fuse there you'd learn about stuff like det cord. and safty technices and storage

OH............................... i get it. when you said you were curious about how it worked for us, you were saying how it worked for US!. i feel like an idiot and apoigize for being an ass
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

Look on cannon fuse, it might ship to where you live. Another thing that might work is a thin line of powdered match head on the masking tape then fold up the tape.

You can also find fuses at just about any hobby shop, there is usualy no age limit too, making one out of liquid cement is harmful as well, it is not meant to be burned, it is meant to hold things together, just go out to a hobby shop or look on the internet for somethign proper.

calm down a bit but it's true that is not advise u want to be giving out as a beginner.
