Fuchsia Transparent, Powder Frit - 1 lb

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.

This style may not reveal (or strike to) its target color until fired. The fired, target color is shown at the bottom of the sample image. The cold frit color may not match the target color.

Working Notes

Color usually deepens on firing. Possible dark interface reaction with selenium and/or sulfur glasses (000137, 001122, 001125, 000124, 000125, 001137, 001437). Less viscous (softer) than most other glasses. Some gold-bearing striking glasses, like this one, should be fired with a 2 hour hold at 1225°F during the initial stages of the firing cycle. If fired without this hold, they may not strike at all, or they may strike but appear spotty and have a blue-brown cast, as opposed to the desired target color. This full-fuse schedule effectively strikes these glasses:
