A friend is having trouble finding a source for Pemco frit 283. She
asked me if I would ask if anyone out there knows where she can buy
quantities less than 100 pounds or so. Also, does anyone have an
analysis for this frit. I've offered to recalculate her glaze for her
using something else, but I can't find an analysis. I'll be off
Clayart next week doing a workshop in New Jersey, so I need an answer
by Saturday or else privately. Thanks.
