Thanks, Cheryl!
It takes some practice, but what helps is to have your frit heaped up in a spoon shaped holder. Like these, and this one is about the size of a large tablespoon:
Some people like to lay their frit out on a graphite marver. It flattens out and it will be very difficult to get an even coat. When you roll your hot base bead through it, you have to be pretty fast. (the bead has to be hot, but not molten) One swift motion, because the glass cools very quickly and it may not "stick" well. It's about the right temp and timing. You will figure that out as you practice.
