French Vanilla Opalescent, Coarse Frit - 1 lb
Currently Out of Stock or Dropship/Special Order Item Please call us for details.
Bullseye Frit is sold in 1lb jars. Coarse frit is approximately 2.7mm to 5.2mm.
Frit
Made from crushed, screened, and magnetically cleaned Bullseye Compatible sheet glass.
Frits are versatile and can be used in:
• Pâte de verre and kilncasting
• Kilnforming, including “glass sketch” and “painting with light” techniques
• Torchworking and blowing, to create colors and patterns on surfaces
Color Notes
The color of the frit in its unfired and fired states may differ greatly. In application, color saturation may vary. Thin layers may be lighter in color. Thicker layers may be darker and more saturated in color.
Striker
This style may not reveal (strike to) its target color until fired.
Reactive Potential
Contains: Sulfur (S) / Selenium (Se)
May React With: Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb), and Silver (Ag)

Working Notes
This sulfur-bearing glass may react with gold-bearing lead (001311, 001215) and copper (001116, 001408, 001417, 000144, 000145, 000146) glasses to create dark interface (lead sulfide, copper sulfide). See our chart Reactive Potential of Bullseye Glasses for more information.
Very viscous; will flow later and less than other glasses. Generally more sensitive to heat-history and more likely to show variation in color after fusing than many opals. When fired on edge, a clear distinction between outside and interior surfaces is commonly seen (a variation used by designers). This glass may become increasingly white with repeated firings. Consider using glass from the same batch for a given project.
Dense White (000313) Reaction Note: The fired surface of French Vanilla does not react as readily to lead-bearing Dense White (000313), compared to firing the same combination in a single firing (using glass that has not previously been fired).\
Reaction Examples: The upper tile shows sulfur-bearing French Vanilla (000137-30) in various forms (-03, -02, -01, -08, -0507, -0107, -0272, -30), fired over lead-bearing Dense White (000313-30).
The lower tile shows lead-bearing Dense White (000313-30) in various forms (-03, -02, -01, -08, -0507, -0107, -0272, -30), fired over sulfur-bearing French Vanilla (000137-30).
