Dee,
I fire the cone 6 Randy's Red formula that I just posted in an electric kiln
in oxidation. I wonder how it would work in reduction. Any thoughts,
anyone?

I have fired Randy's Red in reduction.. and the results was a shade of brown..
The brown was even a little ugly..so I didnt repeat it.. .. But that was my
test.. it is important that you test your Randys Red yourself.. Always,,
regardless of what anyone tells you ..test for yourself. You may have a glaze
that you will love...

At our studio, we use Randy's Red quite a bit. Sometimes it fires more red than
other times. It is also the glaze we use to refire items when the initial glaze
firing gave poor results. When used over our other cone 6 oxidation glazes, we'
ontained some wonderful effects (browns, golds, reds. etc.) One of the best
combinations we've found is Randy's red over a black glaze. The result is a gol
color that is quite striking where the two glazes overlap..
One tip we received early on was to use Spanish red iron when mixing the glaze
rather than ordinary red iron. Thus seems to enhance the "redness" of the glaze
Good luck.

Has any one tried Randy's Red at ^8 oxidation,
and if so what are the results?
It's a glaze I've been wanting to try,
but have been doing some ^8 glazes with good results.
Thanks,
Debbie

At the studio where I teach, they add Crocus Martis to Randy's. This seems to
increase the red response.

How much Crocus Martis is added.?. thank

Your mileage may vary but my test tile of Randy's Red was obviously
affected by an overnight vinegar leach test. You decide if iron
leaching or discoloration is a problem for your work.

Evan,
I am planning to test this glaze because I have an interest in iron browns
and reds. Can you tell me any more about the specifics of your firing,
please? Thanks! I appreciate knowing about the leach results. Sounds
like something to use on the outside only, and not on food ware.

Did anyone ever reply to the question of how much crocus martis should be
added to Randy's Red to enhance the red. If so, I missed it and would
really appreciate if it could be posted again. We use Randy's in our
studio, but although we get a fair amount of rust red on the inside, the
outside can often be quite dull. Would love to be able to get more red.
Thanks in advance.
