COE96 Frit Balls

Frit balls are tiny spheres of fused COE96 glass, roughly 3mm to 6mm across, used to add round dots to fused glass without cutting or nipping. Ours are sold by the half ounce, with roughly 100 to 130 balls per bag.

What's in this category at AGS

The range covers workhorse neutrals and a spread of color: White, Black, Blue Topaz, Dark Blue, Medium Blue, Riviera Blue, Lime, Fern Green Opalescent, Pastel Green, Light Purple, Chestnut, and Alpine. All are COE96 and fire with COE96 compatible sheet glass and frit.

Ways to use frit balls

• Eyes, buttons, and berries on fused glass critters and holiday pieces.
• Uniform dot patterns and borders on plates, coasters, and jewelry.
• Filler texture in mosaics and small bezels.
• Raised accents at a tack fuse, or smooth domed dots at a full fuse.

Firing notes

At tack fuse temperatures frit balls tend to keep their raised, rounded profile; at a full fuse they settle into smooth domed dots. Place them with tweezers and a dab of fusing glue to hold position while you load the kiln. These are COE96 only; do not mix them with COE90 glass in the same project.
