Hello! I have been NPS certified in cannon school at St Augustine Florida several years back. We crew a mountain howitzer at Fort Christmas a replica 1837 Second Seminole War fort near Orlando/Titusville. We used to make our slow match out of cotton rope but its getting very hard to find. Has anyone used the hemp rope that lots of the traders are selling now? I assume the original slow match was likely hemp cord but wonder if the new stuff has been treated so we can't burn[url] it...in[/url] our pipes. JIM :hatsoff:
