So now you should have the string tied off to one of the posts, have the tupperware container filled with a black goo, and be ready to start making fuse.

Steps:

1. Walk slowly (with the fuser in your hands) from the post where you tied off the string (As you can see in the picture I put a tool box on the feet of the tv tray holder so it dosent tip over), to the other post, making sure that all the string is completely coated with the black sludge. Also make sure that the two strings are sticking together when they exit the tupperware, if not run your fingers over them trying to press them together again. If they still do not stick then you probably did not add enough dextrin to your mix and you should stir some more into it.
2. Wrap the fuse around the post, as shown in the pictures, and walk back to the other post. If the fuse starts to fall from the post use some tape to hold it up.

Repeat those steps until you either run out of either string, black powder paste, or room to hang more fuse.
When you are finished cut the string from where it is attaches to the spools and pull the remaining string through the fuser. Take the end of the fuse and tie a knot it, and then tie it to one of your posts.
As you can see in the picture use a piece of paper towel to separate 2 sections of fuse if they are touching otherwise when they dry they will be stuck together. Give it 24 hours to dry, longer if it is humid.
