I'm going to re fuse some noabs for different timing that I want.
After uncovering the fuse area I've noticed double fuses of different colors connecting the tubes. I realize the last 2 or 3 connect via quick fuse for the finale effect. Just wondering why they double fuse with different colors?

Each one is a different timing and sometimes not often the Quick fuse will burn so fast it will not set the mortar off.

With both burning it’s more of a safety thing aka back-up

Re-fusing NOABs can be tricky. They are not all the same on the inside. If you have black match, I'd recommend shoving some extra in the fuse hole.

As for the double fuses - it is a redundancy. I remove them all and typically e-fire each tube. Last year I was curious how the two fuses burned, so I tested some that I removed. They were removed from the same tube. I don't recall which NOAB it was - so your mileage may vary.

Thanks for the fuse test. I would have expected the white fuse to be much faster. I do plan on e firing a good number of the tubes. I have 10 noabs as part my show.
This really helps me out.
