Have you tried asking Mr. Turner how he does it? I looked at his site =3D
and he says to call or email with any questions.
I use Scott's Red, cone 6 ox, and it looks very similar to the photos on =
=3D
Tom Turner's site. It is a chrome tin red with gerstley borate blue =3D
opalescence. I love the true red color.

I know Tom and he won't be sharing. Also knowing him, I'm sure he is still
tweaking the glaze. Tom has given up reduction firing and gone total
electric. He had been working with oil spot glazes and recently began with
crystalline and localized reduction red glazes.
I worked for a short period of time with low fire chrome red crystalline
glazes - these cam out fire engine red, but the glaze contains a large
percentage of lead, so I gave that up not wanting to expose myself to
potentially dangerous materials.
