Item Name: Frit Sifter SKU: 15351 Description: A frit sifter is a handheld dispensing tool used to apply glass frit in a controlled, even layer. It is typically constructed as a small container with a perforated or mesh-style top that lets you shake out fine particles while keeping larger chunks inside. In lampworking, it is used when you want consistent frit coverage for color blending, surface texture, or controlled decoration without dumping too much material onto the glass. It is especially useful at the bench for keeping frit applications clean, repeatable, and easy to target on beads, pendants, marbles, and small components before melting in and optionally encasing. How it is used: Pour a small amount of frit into the sifter and keep the lid secured. Warm the glass surface until it is tacky, then gently shake the sifter over the area you want to decorate. Roll the hot glass lightly in the frit you have applied, or sift directly onto the glass for more precise placement. Melt the frit in smoothly with a neutral flame, then shape and finish, and encase if you want a cleaner surface and added depth.
