If I put safety fuse (visco) into paper quick match pipe, will it accelerate the burning?

Unfortunately, no. When quick match burns, the paper pipe forces the hot gases down the tube and way ahead of the actual flame point, where it ignites more of the black match inside, thus creating more hot gases and continuing the process. Visco fuse is completely sealed off from the air (it can burn underwater), and is difficult to ignite from the outside. While it makes just as much gas and sparks as black match, it won’t take fire easily and therefore doesn’t chain-react like quick match does. See my Effects page to see diagrams on how quick match works.
