boro frit source?
I am on a quest for butterscotch (size L) frit and with all of the different sources out there for frit, I have become very confused. Who do you get your boro frit from? I need a good source that is reasonably priced and takes Paypal as a form of payment. (And not charging an arm and a leg for shipping would be great too)!
Thanks everyone!!

I am still looking for a source for both NS yellow small frit as well as NS Extra light yellow large and small frit. I know the NS ELY will probably never happen, but if anyone knows of a source for NS yellow small frit it would be much appreciated.

Hiya Eric! Just a thought - I've been grinding up some frit with a coffee bean grinder...works like a charm..(and yes, I wear a respirator when doing so as the glass dust rises instantly into the air...)

Yeah. I'm not sure if you need a business license or not. You may just have to meet the minimum initial order, but I'm not sure...

Thanks Chad. I just placed an order with Colored Sands - I appreciate the link. On another note, did you get my PM about our trade? I still feel like I owe you something better than what you got.  The bead you sent me is beautiful.

Nah. You don't need to send me anything. I mean, you CAN. But you don't have to. I didn't send it expecting something back. I did it just because I thought you'd enjoy it. Plus I wanted you to see what that glass looked like.

As far as the extra light yellow, it seems like NS has started making a bunch of new frits and powders? I got a new poster that showed powder and frit samples of about every color but plum crazy... I didn't check X.L. Yellow, but it's worth looking in to!

NS Yellow and NS Extra Light Yellow do interesting things when layered over other colors. It can turn some reds into a nice fuschia pink. You really need to try it out over other colors. However, just remember that you don't need to use a lot of it. A thin coat is usually best, or at least that is what I have found so far.

I find myself playing with her frits quite frequently....in fact I just picked up some Persimmon boro at B&B and want to try her new frit blends on it.....

For those of you who make your own frit - how do you separate the various sizes from one another? I've been using a small coffee grinder and seem to pulverize some of it and then have large pieces that don't look so good if they stick to a small bead. I'm a little afraid of sifting it - not wanting it to get too dusty. Most of my favorite colors aren't available in frit already so would like to do it but do it well (and safely).

I can't believe I found this thread! 
Anyways, fantastic news! I found a great supplier who has this frit, among others, and it is our very own Cathy of Eplanet Glass!
She has NS Extra Light Yellow and NS Yellow!!! WooHoo, way to go girl! 
Here is the link to these in her Ebay store:
