On YORF, RTuinila asked about the Centuri Black Widow instructions.I looked up the older Black Widow and found this.
Centuri recommended using Jetex wick in the upper stage. The wick (actually Jetex version of a fuse) is folded into a tight coil.
The booster section ignites the fuse and that ignites the upper stage engine.
Here's the engine instructions:
Centuri used a Jetex syle wick for many years in their "Sure-Shot" igniters.
