I do the added odd bead thing - no calories in a bead!

I use the cut off ends of baked bean cans as my frit trays! Nice, low edge on them, freee. You do need to use the kind of can opener that cuts the entire top off the can, not the variety that only takes the flat bit in the middle

I break up the bottles, then make up a gather of the glass big enough to pull out into a rod or a chunky stringer. Be careful not to trap air as you build the gather or you will enf up with a frit-stick! Don't try to use this glass with any other glass as the COE will be unknown
