Default Sugared advice?

I want to try applying a sugared shell (surface) to some of my spacers. I've never done this before and could not find an archived thread or tutorial that addressed the technique. Before I start experimenting....

Does anyone have advice to offer a grateful novice?

Do you have a preferred glass manufacturer for clear frit?
Can you recommend a favorite source to order this glass?
Best frit size to use?

Any hints would be much appreciated!!!! Torch setting, frit application, etc?

yep, the video pretty much covers how to do it. I got my clear frit from Glass Diversions. She has a couple different sizes, one of them even says in her description that its good for sugar beads.
