Rosanna:
Nice test! The colors look really clear and bright. Were the frit and confetti fused on the surface of two pieces of float? At first glance it looked like the samples might be in a sandwich. I'm curious as to whether float frit really melts in well at full fuse or remains discrete (compared to BE).
Nikki
p.s. did you find a use for the 20cm square thin float pieces?

Rosanna:
Nice test - bright colors, I really like that. I am confused, what type (coe) frit is this? Is it made specially for float?
thanks

Float-compatible confetti, powders and frit can be purchased from C&R Loo.

hi nikki, yes on top. it melted in/on just fine. no i havn't used those yet but i am sneaking up on it. i am happy with the brightness of the colors. i am making a bunch of x-masy stuff for a couple of festival type shows in nov. these will work just fine for that. way different from my usual muted palett of colors. rosanna

Have you checked compatability with a polariscope? I always thought float glass had a fairly broad coe range, am I wrong?

just looked at them through the polarised filters, no stress that i could see. float varies. i just use glass from the same sheet with itsself. that frit and confetti is so thin that it probably doesn't matter much. that stuff will cut the fool out of you however. why i did not think that it was glass....duh. rosanna
