Hi Everyone
In Passing the Flame she suggests using pyrex glass as the clear for reduction frit stringers but hasn't said why
This means I need to buy some Boro or similar so before I do, I was wondering what do you guys do and why ! :)
thanks for the help

What page is that on? If you can let us know, we can check the context for you.
I can't remember that part in the book but you certainly wouldn't want to make stringers out of boro and then use them on soft glass, because they would be massively incompatible!
I generally have only ever used boro for punties.
Ok may be I'm reading it wrong ???
it's page 214 third edition
thanks
She means to use the boro to pick up the frit and heat it in the flame, then pull the frit into a stringer. ;D as the frit melts quicker than the boro you will just have a reduction frit stringer.
Aha, well deduced Emma :)
o right, thanks Emma
I thought the frit would be mixed with the clear.
I suppose the reduction wouldn't work if it had clear around it ?
sorry as you can tell I'm a bit new to this :)
Don't be sorry ;D We are all new to this.....questions are always there but the good news is we can always find someone who knows the answer :)
