The right hon. Gentleman is afraid of an election is he? Oh, if I were going to cut and run I'd have gone after the Falklands. Afraid? Frightened? Frit? Couldn't take it? Couldn't stand it?.
a ground glass or glaze usually produced, frequently used, and formulated to render raw chemicals insoluble or non-toxic
The material of which glass is made, after having been calcined or partly fused in a furnace, but before vitrification
- A mixture of previously made glass ground into a powder and mixed with oxides and oil to give enamel its glass base Used in a paste form in Cloissone
{i} calcined or partially fused matters used in making glass; substance resembling glass used in making porcelain or glazes
Glaze materials that have been combined by melting and are reground to powder to be used in subsequent glaze formulations There are several reasons why this process may be necessary Some glaze materials are highly soluble in water Soluble minerals cause problems for the potter when present in glaze recipes The fritting process renders them insoluble Another important reason is to "trap" hazardous materials, such as lead, which would otherwise be absorbed by the potter when working with finely ground glaze materials See also glaze, grog
A powdered ceramic prepared by fusing a physical mixture of oxides into a uniform melt, which is then quenched and milled into a fine, homogeneous powder
Ground up bits of colored glass varying in consistency from fine sand-like particles to coarse chunks It is used as an applied decoration
A partial or complete glaze which is melted and then reground for the purpose of eliminating the toxic effects of lead or the solubility of borax, soda ash, and so forth
Some of the ingredients used in making glass, such as sand and alkali, pre-heated in a calcar but not completely melted or fused Ground into a powder or grain and added to final ingredients in the crucible
The mixture of silica, potash and metallic oxides heated in a calcar or fritting furnace at a temperature low enough for the mixture to calcine but not fuse, which is then added to the cullet in a clay pot in the working furnace and which will eventually vitrify into glass It is also called the patch GANTAD A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
