Does anyone know of a source for a set of affordable sieves to seperate various sizes of frit? All I see on the web are expensive testing sieves.
Thanks.

The good ones that I know about cost $57 each from Bailey pottery Supply. They also sell some for $25 that work well but are not stackable.

I use strainers/sieves I bought at the restaurant supply. One is about a 1/16" mesh (maybe a little larger), one is much finer (maybe half), but the one I use to sift out the powder is a re-usable coffee filter I bought at the grocery store.

How about a buck or less? Tom in Texas showed me his, and I've made some too. Just take plastic cups, drill holes with successively larger bits, and you've got just about a freebie set that also stacks. I used 16 oz disposable picnic cups, but anything drillable would work.
