Is there a frit that can be substituted in a formulae for lead
bisilicate? I read that Ferro Frit # 3403 can be a sub for lead? I can't
seem to find this one listed in Ceramic supply. Any helps on a Frit (name)
that might work as a substitute for Lead in a glaze. Thanks.

Llewellen. I have some old notes on Frro frits.
#3403 is similar to O'Hommel 71 and Pemco Pb 723.
I hope that helps.
Cheers. Graeme.

Llewllyn, I can't tell you the number of any frit that is exactly like lead
bisilicate, but you should be aware that lead bisilicate IS a frit. If your
only concern was to use a fritted form of lead rather than raw lead oxide in
one of its forms, the bisilicate will meet your needs.
