David,

Thank you for your information regarding strike firing.

I am wanting to try some high rutile glazes in a strike fire. Do you
have any suggestions of glazes that I could try?

Do you mean "striking" the kiln? Usually means a period of reduction on
the way down--during the cooling cycle. What temperature?
