You can use any of the furnace glass frits like many vendors sell (Val Cox, Glass Diversion, Bead Goodies, etc.)

The COE of these is actually closer to BE than it is to Moretti but you still have to do your own samples to see how much frit works for you.

BE also sells their own frits in all of the colors! Very convenient

I use a lot of the furnace glass frits because I like the extra punch that I get from them!
I should put some more on the website because we have lots of them at the studio!

I use a lot of Bullseye, and haven't had any problems with the furnace glass frits that I'm aware of. The very fine frits like the powder, size #0, and #00 I roll the bead in twice to get good coverage. The size #1, just one roll (one layer) to be safe. I wouldn't use the chunky #2 and larger on anything else but Uroboros (carefully though) or on a base of Reichenbach, Gaffer, or whatever kind of glass the frit is actually made from.
