Northstar Goldenrod frit

Description

The Northstar Goldenrod frit is an intense, opaque gold that brings a luminous richness to all your borosilicate glass creations. This frit stands out for its saturated color and exceptional brightness, ideal for bringing fine blown pieces or stringer details to life. Its unique formula guarantees excellent stability in an oxidizing flame, allowing you to work with confidence and precision.

Goldenrod is designed to be used in a soft, oxidizing flame—perfect for avoiding boiling, a phenomenon to which this color is sensitive. By heating slowly and carefully, you achieve a perfect fusion without defects or marks. This careful technique ensures a smooth, even finish, enhancing every shade of intense gold.

This frit applies easily by rolling, sprinkling, or direct fusion on hot pieces, adhering quickly as soon as the temperature is ideal. Its versatility offers many artistic possibilities: a thin layer for subtle shine or a thicker application for a deeper, more uniform effect.

To protect and enhance the color, you can encapsulate Goldenrod with clear glass, but this is optional. An artistic tip is to overlay a layer of NS-013 Amber/Purple to create unique contrasts and shades.

We also offer the Northstar Goldenrod rod, perfect for stringer work or flame sculpting. By combining frit and rod, you benefit from perfect color consistency and great technical freedom to explore new textures and color effects.

Whether you are a professional glassblower or a passionate flameworker, the Goldenrod frit and rod open the door to a rich, intense palette tailored to the demands of 33 COE borosilicate glass.
