Answer 1

We used to make our own fuses, get some parachute cord and remove the inner strands, cut it to how long you want it then get a small funnel and fill it up, we used to use FFFg powder and it worked well.  If you want a longer burn time put a sparkler in the end of the parachute cord and light it first.  We also used to use model rocket detonators but then you have to use long wire and an electric charge.

Answer 2

The fuse doesn't necessarily need to even touch the powder, as most fuses create sparks. If it's touching at all, it should ignite the powder.

Your question is worded strangely, but I think that solves your problem.
