Love clear frit! Sometimes I totally encase the bead (as in 3 to 4 coatings) and sometimes I do spot encasing with 1 or 2 rolls. Here are some pictures of beads I have used clear frit on:

With clear, medium to large is best for me. Kind of in relationship to the piece it's going on. If it's a big marbe, I use large. If it's a bead or pendant, I use medium.

The beads that I made (above) were made with small clear. I do have large, though, and use it ocassionally.
