This is a question Bodge Jobs

If you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

Good luck with further experiments, ignore the whiney whingers.
Just one thing to do first, develop a remote igniter for the fuse. A piece of fuse wire wrapped round the touch paper could be worth trying, 5A rating, attached to a bunch of AA cells with a swtich and a long set of leads, 10m minimum. you will have to experiment, but we used a transformer in the past to set homemade artillery off. Reliable and safe, well, safeish.
