I HAVE BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH THE CRANBERRY GLAZE RECIPE THAT MEL
SUBMITTED A WHILE BACK. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS THE INSIDE OF THE CUP(OR OIL
CANDLE) TURNS OUT A BEAUTIFUL RED BUT THE OUTSIDE IS WHITE. THIS HAS BEEN
CONSISTANT IN THE LAST FOUR FIRINGS. IS THIS BECAUSE THE INSIDE OF THE POT
COOLS SLOWER OR DOES THE INSIDE OF THE POT GET HOTTER? ANY SUGGESTIONS?
HELP PLEASE. VERONICA

Veronica, the likelyhood is that your kiln is cooling too fast and the pieces
are white outside for that reason. When the kiln has cooled to approximately
1700F, relight it and hold it somewhere between 1700-1900F for a couple
hours, shut it off and let it finish cooling. That should take care of the
white-
outside problem. Reds appear during COOLING; longer cooling =better
reds. See article(s) in Clay Times by Pete Pinnell. And, not to be
nitpicky -
but that Cranberry glaze that Mel posted was PETE'S CRANBERRY from the
same article. As Mel stated.

Can this have something to do with thickness of glaze applied? Do you pour
the inside and immediatly submerse the oustside of your pot?

Actually, the likelyhood is that this glaze is melting on the outside
significantly faster than on the inside.... so, if you lower the temp at
which you reduce, say from 08 to 010, you will likely see more reds.

I have tried all variations of thickness of glaze from a 6 to 14 count.
Although it does seem to need to be thick, that is not the entire problem.
