Hi,
Try experimenting with about 5% silicon carbide in a glaze. It will =
provide a localised reduction and if there is any copper around you =
should get that "sang de boeuf" pinky red. I personally think its pretty =
yucky, but each to his own!=20
If you use too much you will get blisters and craters.
I wouldnt put combustable materials in my electric kiln, too mean/poor =
to replace elements any more often than I have to.
Some of the sculpture students use newspaper to support their pieces and =
then fail to remove it before firing, having seen what that does to the =
elements over a period of time makes me very wary.=20
Pat.
