Perchlorate Quick Match and Electrical Tape

[paulcatucci]

Hey everyone, I was getting ready for a show and I came across this. Is the new way china is doing things? It looks like something someone made in their garage. Is it cheaper to produce than standard quick match and what's with the electrical tape?
