Hi, folks.. two parter...I have been unsuccessful in firing electric
reds such as Randy's Red..It goes green on me.. I have read comments in
the past about slow cooling.. I do my best, but I just get a very nice
green..I believe these recipes are for oxidation, so I'm not fooling
myself into thinking I can achieve a copper red,, but are there any
methods I can try that haven't shown up in Clayart archives? Now, for
part two.. Is anyone familiar with Marie's Red? It may be on the same
line as the other ones,, but I was told it is nice and reliable..
thanks, again for any input... carolyn
