your idea will most likely not work. (sorry) ive tried that idea with matchheads before, but all my firecrackers ive made has been with 1 packet of matches to about 5 sides of striker powder on the sides of matchboxes. i assume the stuff is some kind of oxidiser, but it makes the powder burn a heck of alot faster. and explodes like a cap if hit by a hammer

and you were wondering about fuses, i used to count on sparklers as fuses. and if you wrap tape around the sparkler (preferably paper with glue stick glue on it) will work under water.
