The right time!
After finishing the Rosenrot I had I decided to retest two other reds, this one will be
there two.
I have a question to you Bill on this red subject.
I tested sometimes an add of 0.32 chrome and 5% tin to glazes I tested, to learn, the
results were from gray pink to pink ( gray ).
I wonder which flux allowed to be in the base in order to archive the "red".
Thank you
Ababi who wakes up too early - exited- wondering if my crystal glazes turned out
good, wishing the new PMI would arrive 4 days earlier!
