How to Create Your Own Glass Frit

Using the Glass Crusher, it can be possible to use your left-over fusing glass scraps to create your own custom frit. If you need a custom colour, or only require a small amount of frit for your fusing project, this tool is fantastic. This handy tool allows you to control the size of your frit -- from coarse, medium, fine, or super-fine! You can buy the Glass Crusher in-store or online at http://www.prairiestainedglass.mb.ca/Details.cfm?ProdID=224&category=20

Thanks for the suggestion "TheWeezee11."

"Cheo1414", we do not know anybody who has successfully used this frit for pottery glazes. But, you don't know until you try!

That technique has been called "Raku Glass" there are books out on it

Why not put a plastic bag over the entire unit and after you have finished just let it set for a few minutes and then no glass dust when you take it apart? Seems that would save your eyes from glass dust and you wouldn't inhale it either. :)

Hello, Would I be able to use this frit in a glaze for pottery?

Wear a mask. Do it outside so you don't get glass dust where u live. I bought a blender at a resale shop for 4$ that will crush glass into a fine powder.
