Hi Susan, I've got a 50 pound bag of powdered glass. How much do you need? I'm in Georgia, just above you. Jim

Hi Susan,
Frit is another name for glass powder. It isn't clear what type of glass
you're looking for, but there are several sources.
I get mine from Bullseye Glass:

They sell it by the pound, in many colors and several grades
from coarse to fine powder.
Sometimes I pulverize my own:

and then sieve it.
Hope this helps,

May well be: but as far as Fournier goes, cullet is the name for ground
glass, and frit is frit--which IS a "ground glass" but is thought of more
often as a glaze of sorts (some can be used alone) that has been melted and
then ground, the idea being to make soluble materials available in an
insoluble form. Frits are described by maker and number, each identifying
the contents of the frit.
Susan: What is it your recipe asks for exactly?

Hi.... Thanks for your imput...... In reply to your question, the recipe asks
for "ground beer bottles". They were ball-milled to a workable consistency.
After talking with a glass person, this would be a sodalime glass.
Guess I won't be spraying this one!

Susan,
I'm curious as to why you "won't be spraying this one."
best wishes,
