Helen Stone asks if how the frits GF111 compares to 3134:
According to Tony Hansens "Insight" software the are for practical purposes
identical.

GF111/3134
CaO .683/.683
Na2O .317/.317
B2O3 .640/.633
SiO2 1.475/1.475

There also is percentage by weight data given for GF146 in John Conrads
"Advanced Ceramic Manual" on pg 239:

K2O 1.00
Na2O 16.40
CaO .30
ZnO 4.20
AL2O3 23.90
B2O3 54.20

With a note "Grind wheel abrasive bond frit".

Hope this helps
