Hi friends!

A LOOONG time ago I used some technique (?) to make an extremely thin (think card stock) piece of "frit paper" for lack of a better word. I have no idea how I did it or what it's called. It looks like I mixed powder frit and glue and spread it in a thin layer and left it to dry. It is not fired. This could then be torn, paper punched, etc. I want to make more, but I'd rather not do a bunch of trial and error! Is anyone familiar with this technique? If I had to give it a name I'd call it a frit wafer, but if I search that all I find is the No Days product, and I know I didn't use that. Thank you to anyone who can shed some light on this!

Can you remember if you had a kiln when you made it?

If so, could it be a powder wafer?

I think you are refering to "Powder Wafer Design Elements" by Paul Tarlow. He used to be an active member of this forum & now has his own website "fusedglassbooks.com".

When I was doing Glass Clay, there was an offshoot of a material that would mix with frit (or mica) to achieve a sheet.
To emulated this I used decoupage glue that was thinned a little with water. Laid out sheets of the mix on wax paper and let thoroughly dry.
Result could be cut, punched or whatever you wanted.
You could also use elmers glue. Note: had to do a thorough burnout at 900 F or you would trap carbon in the glass.
