Greetings
I have been following several threads regarding the problem of reduction
fired glazes reoxidizing while in the kiln. Does anyone know of
attempts and their results of introducing dry nitrogen gas, or an intert
gas such as argon at very low but positive pressure into the kiln during
the cool down phase.
Thanks in advance,
