Description:
Origin Midnight Frit (F) is a fine-grade frit made from crushed and screened colored borosilicate glass, designed for controlled surface application in lampworking. Fine frit has smaller particles than small or large grades, which makes it especially useful when you want smoother coverage, cleaner melt-in, and more even color distribution with less texture left behind. Midnight is a deep, dark color that is commonly used for bold accents, shadowing, linework effects when melted thin, and strong contrast in layered color designs. Fine frit is a go-to choice for artists who want the look of a solid color application while still working with the speed and flexibility of frit.
How it is used:
- Keep the frit in a frit tray or shallow dish so you can roll or dab accurately without wasting material.
- Bring the glass surface to an even, tacky heat, then lightly roll the hot area through the frit for controlled pickup.
- Reheat gently to seat the particles, then melt in fully for a smooth finish or partially for a soft, granular texture.
- Use light applications for shading and depth, or build layers to increase opacity and create richer dark coverage.
- For cleaner edges, apply frit to a defined hot zone and avoid overheating too quickly, which can cause the frit to drift before it locks in.
