"So it keeps blowing these 1A 250V slow-blow fuses I've got" ... "Have you tried a different make of fuse?" ... "Well, I've got some, but they're the wrong size"

The double-decker Frankenfuse fits safely into the fuse holder and the little door still shuts! And best of all, it all works! Multiple power-cycles and it hasn't blown yet.

@stepleton Well it’s still a fuse. And if the frankenfuse fits and has an appropriate rating then go you. I got reminded how useful real fuses are after I found this horror lurking in the power connection for my boiler after it started throwing the 63A main breaker.
