Does anyone happen to know if Tuffers Iris Gold Frit is 104 or not? It doesn't say on the bag.... :-\

Unlikely. You'll be fine using it anyway, unless you are planning a really thick layer. Most frit that is used with 104 glass is between 89 and 96 COE. I use it all the time and have never had a problem.
