Fast/Slow fuse?

I was looking for two kinds of fuses, one slow blow (10A, 250V) and one fast blow (4mA (?), 250V). Went to RadioShack and found that they had fast blow type fuse for 10A/250V and slow blow type for the other. I just bought them anyway. What would be the worst possible problem of using fast blow fuse instead of slow blow fuse, and vice versa? Ihcho  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 05-26-10
