Quickmatches are a very important component of most Fireworks, mainly when you need to ignite fireworks in a well-timed way because they burn almost instantainly.
To make them, all we need is just some Blackmatch (click here if you want to know how Blackmatch is made), a paper foil and clear tape for impermeabilization.
Usually I use a 3cm wide craft or white paper sheet folded in 3 equal parts and glue it to make a tube and then I put some clear tape around it (don't need to wrap, just run the tape along the tube length) and finally put about 4 pieces of Blackmatch inside and it's done!
Take care when using Quickmatch because it burns very fast, so, never use it for other purposes than the appropriate ones.
