7 reviewsSmash up your scrap then separate it into individual grades of frit.
This set includes four sifting trays:
Customers praised these sifters as "amazing" for grading crushed glass into uniform frit sizes. They're larger than expected with sturdy construction and easy to clean, preventing color contamination. "Saves so much time" shoppers noted. However, several customers mentioned missing a base pan to catch powder, an odd oversight given the quality and price.
Don’t know why I waited so long to buy these , they are amazing.
Saves so much time , all nicely graded into pots.
Desperate to make my own frit and I looked at the various options. Smashing the glass in between paper in a plastic bag with a lump hammer seemed to be the cheapest option. I then needed some filters to grade the frit. I'm a totally loyal Warm Glass customer and whilst I was a bit worried that this set looked a bit small I thought I'd give it a go. Totally delighted that the actual "buckets" are the size of an outstretched palm!! Diameter 16cm and the wire filters are 11.5cm diameter. So easy to smash and filter a piece of 10cm x 10cm glass. Now going to spend hours using up my scrap glass into usable frit.
This is very useful but agree it would be better with a base pan, especially as the powder is the most hazardous part. I also had to fashion a makeshift lid, so I could give the sifter a good shake.
I've looked at these for a while and finally taken the plunge. Despite the size being on the page, I was surprised at how big these are.
I do agree that having no final catch-container that can be fitted to the bottom is a rather odd and annoying oversight, given the quality (and price!) of the sifters and that's why I've given them 4 stars, not 5.
Amazing, brilliant for making your own frit in varying sizes. could have done with a base tin for catching the powder, but that's not a difficult one to solve. Really effective product.
Good product. So easy to use. However you crush your glass, this helps you produce very uniform grades of frit and they are also very easy to clean thus avoiding any colour contamination.
This is probably one of the best things I have bought in a while. The construction is sturdy and it's has a bigger capacity than I was expecting. I can now grade my crushed glass by size. This helps to use up all the odd scraps of glass and make them into something really usable in my studio.
