0101 Stiff Black Fine Frit 5oz

Compared to Black (000100), Stiff Black (000101) has a slightly higher viscosity, meaning that it is a stiffer glass. In most kilnforming applications, Black and Stiff Black can be used interchangeably. Kilnforming applications where differences between Black & Stiff Black might be noticed include working with elevated drop ring molds and kilncasting.

Stiff Black was originally developed for glass blowing purposes such as the Roll-up Technique. Using Stiff Black in kilnformed panels for this application creates a more uniform viscosity, which is easier to control.

Made from crushed, screened, and magnetically cleaned Bullseye Compatible sheet glass.

Frits are versatile and can be used in:
• Pâte de verre and kilncasting
• Kilnforming, including “glass sketch” and “painting with light” techniques
• Torchworking and blowing, to create colours and patterns on surfaces

Colour Notes
The colour of the frit in its unfired and fired states may differ greatly. In application, colour saturation may vary. Thin layers may be lighter in colour. Thicker layers may be darker and more saturated in colour.
