Hi Ken,
You mean you are firing to 011 right, not eleven or your oil drum may be =
part of
the glaze...=21
I'll betcha then you will get some pretty cool flashing.
I just got an oil drum kiln, and I am also looking for similar effect. I =
have
reduced in the
past only 15 minutes and gotten complete reds with copper flashes. Maybe =
the
reduction
time has something to do with it? Ask Steven B. right here on the list, he =
will
tell you.
Good luck,
Alisa in Denmark
I have acheived a good reduced red by a reducing not longer really than 15
minutes.

=3EHi all, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share some

oxidation
