Cheapest place to buy frit?
I make mosaics with crushed glass and cover them in resin. I had been using “Diamond Dust” that I color with alcohol ink but it bleeds with any solvent based glue so I’ve switched to frit. It isn’t as sparkly, but seems the best upturn so far. I don’t fuse it so quality isn’t an issue as long as the color is good.
We have a Bullseye in Portland but the fine is too fine and medium is too large. I picked up some Reichenbach at an estate sale and it comes in a bigger range of sizes. The 1 and 2 are best for what I do. Any ideas appreciated! |
Olympic Color Rods sells frit, but I think their minimum is 1/2 kilo, so it depends on how much you need. They sell Reichenbach and Gaffer. Spruce Pine Batch also sells Reichenbach and Kugler, but they are in North Carolina, so shipping may be a bit more. There is also East Bay Batch, but I have never purchased from them. They come up a lot when I try to find Spruce Pine via Google. I am sure there are other sellers of 96 COE frit out there, since that is what furnace workers use.

Olympic Colors is up in Seattle if you like the Reichenbach colors. They also have dichroic coated frit for sparkle, but it's pricey. Have you tried mica flakes?
