The smaller grind of this classic frit can be used very well on smaller beads and as backgrounds. The blues and purple color reactions are a little harder to get with this smaller grind but it's possible. You will need to heat the frit hotter than usual, much hotter! Then cool by marvering. Repeat as needed to bring out the rich blue and purple tones. (Hot Heads probably won't be hot enough to get these colors.)
