what do you put your frit on??

[the lady with the lamp]

  Ive got a brass off cut with the middle rounded out and when ive finished i use a tiny funnel to put the leftover frit back,it makes it very easy to tidy-up.

Like Colette I use folded up tinfoil.

Oh yes, a funnel.  I'd get it everywhere without the funnel - courtesy of a Tupperware raffle years ago.

A soup spoon held over a metal gravy boat - I push the frit right up to the edge of the spoon and if any falls off it is easy to pour back into the frit container

I like to use the back of my beadrollers or the bottom part of the lentil press.

I'm a sprinkler. I put the frit in a bowl under the flame and use a melon baller or teaspoon to sprinkle the frit over the heated bead. I have a teeny steel funnel for putting the frit back into its container.

I use a small mainly flat, brass swan I found in a charity shop. The pointed tail lets me pour the frit back in it's tub. I like the coke can bottom tip though.
