Fred's Frit Maker Pics

[Forester18]

OK. So I bought a masher from Martin. Ate several jars of jam. Drilled holes in the lids and Bingo made my own frit using bits of effetre from the bin - so they are the same COE. and graded as I want. Cost I reckon about 30p for 30 grms. It does take a bit of time to mash - but my time is my own and it's quite theraputic.

You have waaaay more patience than me!

Somehow I can't imagine you making all your frit like that Sam  

Frederick - that's a great idea with the jam lids!

I got one from a boot sale for a couple of pounds. It works OK if you don't put too much glass in it at a time. Best to cut up glass shorts with rod nippers. Best to let all the glass dust settle before opening the top.

And it's wise to go over it with a magnet to remove any tiny bits of metal that might have got into the frit.

Use a mask or respirator if you are making or pouring frit about the place!!!!

and to make it real fun use nutella jars instead of jam ones
