Re: Fuses

Try using a thin strip of tinfoil for your fuse. In the old days of
paper capacitors, we used to take a .02 uF capacitor apart and
cut up the foil into strips. One caution though.... cover the apparatus
with clear plate glass or plastic for safety purposes. When the
fuse blows, small pieces of hot metal sometimes shoot out of it.

Herbert,

Do you mean aluminum tinfoil or tin tinfoil? Where does one get the latter?
