To Craig Martel (hope I spell correct)!
This frit I posted here:

Frit F5(Colorobia)
==================
SiO2................ 27.00 27.00%
B2O3................ 38.00 38.00%
Al2O3............... 2.00 2.00%
CaO................. 11.00 11.00%
K2O................. 10.00 10.00%
Na2O................ 12.00 12.00%

I talked again to the supplier.They sell in America their name is "Hobby"
or "Hobby Colorobia" they work with kind of hobby , although they have a lot
of materials. They work with low fire.
The frit, as excepted is soluble. So what is so good? If you don,t have a
choice, you can use it, better that borax, or boric acid.You can spray it ,
shieve it like it was a "normal" material.
