What is glass frit?

Bullseye frit is made from crushed, screened and magnetically cleaned sheet glass. Available in a massive variety of colours and grades, frit allows you to add unique elements to your glass art.

Frits are extremely versatile and can be used in kilnforming, including 'glass sketch' and painting with light techniques, as well as in torch working and blowing, to create colours and patterns on surfaces.

Frits are available in a Powder, Fine, Medium, Coarse and Extra Coarse form.

Working Notes

Contains:

Copper

May react with:

Selenium, Sulphur

Cold characteristics: 

Very slight orange-peel mottling.

Working notes: 

At full fuse, capped or uncapped, the mottling disappears and the colour is consistent, even and pure. At slumping temperatures and low-tack fusing temperatures (1150-1250°F/621-677°C), grey clouding may occur (similar to Steel Blue 0146), especially where contamination from oils and/or cleaner is left behind during the cleaning process. Solution: cap this colour with clear or test for each specific application. The clouding can be erased from an uncapped piece by capping with clear glass and firing to a full fuse.

Fine and Medium frits usually appear lighter than their fired colour, even when the glass is not a striker. Coarse frits less so.

All our glass is COE90, Bullseye Glass compatible and suitable for applications such as glass fusing, glass casting and glass slumping (unless otherwise stated in the description).

Love it. Gorgeous when used with French Vanilla coarse frit on a sheet of 4mm tekta - always sells as a coaster or bowl. The reactions give a dimensional quality sometimes lacking in frit-embellished pieces.



Never had any problems with devit.
