Item Name: Moretti Red Dark Special Effetre Glass Frit - Medium - 2 oz SKU: FF59043610 Description: Moretti Red Dark Special frit is Effetre 104 COE soft glass that has been crushed into medium-sized particles and packaged in a 2 oz container. This dark red special frit is an opaque red with deep, rich tones ideal for solid color coverage, layering, and decorative patterning in lampworking. Frit is used when you want to add color quickly and evenly across a surface without the bulk of applying color from a full-size rod. The medium particle size melts quickly and smoothly when applied to a hot bead or component, making it perfect for controlled encasing and surface decoration without the streaking that can occur with rod or stringer application. How it is used: Heat a base bead or component to a workable temperature and roll it in the frit to pick up an even layer. Melt the frit in smoothly in a neutral to slightly oxidizing flame to keep the color clean and vibrant. Apply frit in multiple light passes to build saturation and maintain control over the final look. Use frit to create an encased color layer by melting it smooth before adding a clear encasement. Place frit precisely with a small scoop or tool when you want controlled accents instead of full coverage. Dimensions: 2 Oz. container
