Cracked Beads
 

I want to know if I can use any beads that have cracked....(I left them out of the flame too long)....to crush up and use for frit???? I don't want to waste anything.....Thanks:grin:

Of course! (Unless there's some type of "chemical thing" I am not aware of).

Crush them, then sift them through a screen to get most of them equal sized.

I have also seen people (Amber- Naos) slump them in the kiln and make cabs out of them.

When I have tried to make seconds into frit, I end up with mud color frit.

Or you can clean them and fuse them into puddles and make magnets, earrings,, and pins...
