Description:
Origin Yellow Frit (S) is a small-grade crushed glass color frit used in lampworking to introduce bright yellow color with controlled, even coverage. Frit is made by melting compatible colored glass, rapidly cooling it, then crushing and screening it into consistent particle sizes. The small grade is preferred when you want finer detail, smoother melt-in, and more uniform color distribution than you typically get from medium or large frit. It is commonly used for rolling hot glass, building layered color under clear, and creating soft transitions when blended with other frit colors or sizes.
How it is used:
- Preheat the frit lightly to remove moisture and reduce thermal shock.
- Heat the glass surface until it is tacky, then roll or dab the hot area into the frit for controlled pickup.
- Melt in gently with a neutral flame while rotating to keep the application even and avoid scorching.
- For a smooth finish, seal the grains first with a quick surface heat, then fully melt until the surface is uniform.
- Use under encasement for added depth, or mix with other frit colors to create custom blends and gradients.
