Boro Batch Sunset Frit Fine

Description:
Boro Batch Sunset Frit Fine is a borosilicate color glass frit that is manufactured by crushing and sizing colored boro into a fine frit grade for smooth, even application. Sunset is described as a brilliant striking orange that can produce reds and oranges with heatwork, and it is noted as a super creamy color to work with.
This is the kind of frit you reach for when you want warm, sunset-range color in your lampworked pieces while keeping application controlled and consistent. The fine particle size makes it well suited for clean melt-in, soft transitions, and layered color builds where you want the surface to finish smooth.
How it is used:
Fine frit is commonly used as a surface-applied color in lampworking, either as a light dusting for subtle shading or as heavier coverage for bold sections of color.
A typical workflow is to:
- Warm the base glass and roll or press it into the frit for an even pickup
- Gently preheat the coated area to secure the frit and reduce popping
- Melt the frit in smoothly and evenly
- Add additional heatwork to develop the striking range, bringing out reds and oranges as desired
- Optionally encase in clear to add depth and protect the surface
Sunset Fine Frit is especially useful for warm gradients, flame-developed color variation, and any design where you want that glowing orange-to-red palette to do some of the visual work for you.
