Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?

Hi All,

instead of using a "gourmet" fuse in certain situations, I want to bypass the fuse entirely with a solid piece of metal. I also want to avoid soldering-in a piece of wire in the fuse’s place.

Are there solid pieces of silver or copper, the same size as a fuse, that i can swap into a fuse holder?

Simply wrap the fuse in copper foil. Some foil has adhesive that is conductive.....perfect stuff....been using it for years. Just once around will do otherwise it won’t fit in the fuse holder. If you use a 20 amp slow blow or larger fuse it already has lower resistance. All tweakers need to have a roll of this stuff around....great for shieldng too.
