BE Olive Green Opal medium frit

Post by dodi1027 »

Has anyone else noticed a change in the BE Olive Green Opal medium frit? I just purchased a new 5 pound container and it is different that my old 1 pound jar. I have many designs using that frit and I am very upset to loose that ability. The old frit was more uniform in size and shape. BE said nothing has changed.

Frit will vary some from jar to jar. There is a size range Bullseye calls 'medium.'

if consistency is important to you, you can use soil sifters to sift the frit so that you are using consistent sizes. There is quite a range of sizes within any one BE size - Miriam Difiore gets 5 sizes out of #2 frit. Sift away!
