Hi everyone! I am trying to fire Hawaiian Copper Blue raku glaze,
and having no success! I know this glaze is beautiful when fired
properly, but I seem to be either overfiring or underfiring, I can't
tell which. Because you can't tell when this glaze melts by looking
at it in the kiln, it needs to be fired with another glaze, which I
have done, but I can't seem to find one that melts at the right temp
for the Hawaiian Copper Blue. Does anyone have any suggestions for
firing this glaze? Have you had any experience with it? Thanks for
your help.
