I was not implying a delicate little piece of wire the thickness of a greasy hair but a current limiting device. By CLD I am implying a weak link somewhere in the circuit that will ultimately kill the circuit. The 15.24mm nail is most likely the last thing to fail.
I changed my first fuses at the age of 8 - more than my mother could do. There were two fuses in the circuit and we weren't sure whether it should be 2x15 or 1x15 and 1x10. By trial and error we selected 2x15. Later, to be safe, I double wrapped them
