The FRIT DIVISION of GG Glass is FOR SALE
IMMEDIATELY!
For pricing, and other information, please contact Gail privately at gailjos @ gmail.com
The selling price will include the following (but not shipping) and is a crazy bargain. It is based on half of the price I paid for the frit, a nominal price for the jars & labels, images and most importantly, the frit recipes:
I will be moving across the country in 8 weeks, and will be packing up my frit in the next week or so. I would prefer to send it to a new buyer, rather than to myself! Due to the weight and volume, it will either have to sell locally, or be shipped by truck on a pallet.
The Fritty-Nitty-Gritty:
I am selling more than 1000 pounds of coe 104, 90 and 96 frit (most of this is solid color), all inventoried. Amounts are approximate, but very close.
556 pounds coe 104 solid colors
400 pound coe 90 solid colors
214 pounds coe 96 solid colors
40 pounds (640 ozs) blends in colors I sell through Ed Hoy's and Delphi
-Not inventoried, but included--All blends I have in stock, made up, from which I jar my retail orders
-Approx. $1000 value jars & lids in multiple sizes
-Boxes and boxes of labels plus my label files in jpg and Word documents
-pegboard wire shelving (originally intended for VHS tapes), if desired--not including in my pricing calculations)
*All recipes I've created (hundreds) plus my assistance in revising due to color changes in industry (i.e., Vetrofond).
*You be able to use "GG Glass Frit" and frit names. I will link to YOU on my website.
*You will be able to use any of my frit and bead images.
*I will facilitate contact with my wholesale accounts and inform my retail customers of the change in frit ownership.
**One last detail--I am omitting the coe 96 solid color frits which I will still use to make my cane because it would be ridiculous for me to take a huge loss on color which I actually still need. If the buyer would like my inventory in those colors, that is an additional 176 lbs of coe 96 frit which will be sold at the price I paid.
Thank you!
I hope someone got a really nice tax refund!!!!--Gail

An update---I have sold about 1/3 of my coe 90 frit to a fuser, and will be willing to take a bigger loss on the coe 104 frit, just because there is so much of it.
I'm really hoping that there is someone out there who would like to carry on with my blends while I focus my attention on the veiled cane!!!

If I didn't live with someone that would have a stroke seeing 500 lbs of frit come in I would take the 104! Good Luck Gail. I don't envy you moving all of that frit. May I suggest PODS? They were cheaper for me moving glass South than anyone/thing else!

An update---If you haven't heard from me, it is because there are a few people with whom I have been negotiating who want various parts of the business, and until I know where we stand, I don't know what is still available.
What I DO know:
-coe 90 and coe 96 recipes are for sale (Or should I publish them, somehow?)
-Most of my coe 90 frit is tentatively sold
-The solid colors of coe 104 (& already mixed blends) and recipes are being seriously negotiated
-I have a revised list of the solid color coe 96 colors for sale
-the already-mixed coe 96 blends have been sold

Gail - I just wanted to welcome you to TUCSON! Here's some guidelines to living here:
1) throw out the damn long underwear you will NEVER need them again
2) buy 2 sets of oven mitts, one for cooking the other for driving from June -Sept
3) learn it is acceptable to cut others off with reckless abandon in a Target parking lot just to park under a puny 5' tall, 3 branched tree for "added shade"
4) map out the top 20 Mexican food restaurants given to you as suggestions from locals, you'll marvel at how many ways to make a chile relleno and tacos
5) learn that "cold" means below 88 degrees even if you're talking about "ice water"
6) learn what a swamp cooler is and know it will NOT cool you in monsoon season in July/August even if you poured "ice water" in it... sorry!
7) learn that it is effing hot as hell to try to torch at all outside after May 20th-ish and if you do, it will be because you either are sitting in a kiddie pool with a hose running over you or you're simply nuts - or both.

because of #7, go to Lowe's and get a stand up AC unit for your studio - even if it's in your house - so you can torch in what everyone else calls "normal" summer temps
9) you get to laugh your butt off in winter at those who post it's too cold to torch where they are, because it will NEVER be too cold in Tucson to torch! EVER!
10) if your torch breaks down after May, don't worry, you can always use the radiant heat off the hood of your car to melt whatever you want.
WELCOME! You can't tell I'm a little "baked" by the sun after 35 years can you? -
Heather in Tucson - Sonoran Glass School patron - and very happy we are gaining another glass diva!!!!!!

I agree with all those rules LOL but for those of us who torch outside, we turn into night owls right about this time and work all night. So, if you don't want to get an AC unit, you can get a good light

ROFL!!! Gail, I wish that you were moving here but South Texas is brutal for lampworkers! My AC went out in my studio so I torch in shorts & a tank top and a lot of sweat! I *hate* it when the rods pop... To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater.
