Does anyone know of a commercial red lowfire glaze that doesn't burn off in
the kiln? I'm having SOOOOOooo much trouble with a Duncan Christmas Red, and
I've tried Matador with no luck...the only one that's worked for me at all is
the Concepts Scarlet and Salsa underglazes but they aren't real bright!
Thanks for any help.

Hiya,
Have you tried the Duncan "Red Coats"? They are a fluxing underglaze and are
pretty bright. Also, fire at ^07 for reds -- works much better.

A friend of mine uses Spectrum Apple Red... Looks real
fire engine red if fired to cone... If over fired
evean 1/2 a cone it starts leaving...
I am not a red person, so I havn't my self used it but
I have seen it on, it seems like every other piece she
makes...

I've used Matador quite successfully a number of times. Have to fire
fast and let it cool fast. I fire it in a small kiln so it cools quickly
on it's own. You also need 4 good coats of glaze.
The one time I fired a piece in my large kiln (which was loaded with a
lot of bisque pieces) it went a wonderful mottling of white, grey and
red. Could never reproduce the same conditions. It was a wonderful
piece. Tried several times and it just burned off and ended up white.

Ceramichrome "real red" no. 3001 is the only one that I've found that
works. The Duncan red usually comes out red black clear.

Hi Helvi,
try firing lower - to ^07, & leave the top peep open or the lid cracked.
I've fired both of these glazes successfully using this method. I also
fire ONLY reds in that firing, no bisque or other glazes.
hope this helps,
Valice

Here is the answer to your problem: Amaco Reward Underglaze "Red"
(V-382) I put it on my bisque, fire it to cone 04, put on a gloss coat,
and fire to cone 05. This red is amazing, it actually comes out red,
not a muddy brown! I buy it at Seattle Pottery, it's not cheap, but
it's the best red I have ever seen. It works brushing or sponging.
Good Luck

Hi Helvi!
I empathise with your dilemma. When I want a bright red for cone 6, I use
Lesley's red underglaze (UG), which comes in a squeeze container. I don't
know the item number, but this UG fires bright red at cone 06, and becomes
moreso orange as one approaches cone 10. Lesley also has a low-fire red
glaze, and slip, for up to cone 04.
Lesley Ceramics is located in Berkeley, CA.

It's also very forgiving on application and firing. I've used both thick
and thin applications and fired between 06 and 04 and it always comes out a
true red.
