The chemical you used from Radio Shack is Ferric Chloride, called etchant solution in radioshack speak.
It is a soluble form of iron.

Subject: sager firing
I'm in a class at BYU-I and we did a sager firing today.
We put on a
chemical sorry I've forgotten what it is called for sure.
We get it at Radio Shack
it called etching and we dilute it half solution and half
water. Used on
B-Mix or whitestone clay body it gives a
peachy-to-orange-pinkish color to the
pot. We put the pots in foil and fired them red hot
like a raku firing and
then take them out open the foil and add single strands
of horse hair. The
horse hair gives the pots a "lightening bolt" effect and
is very popular for
selling at our student sale. If you want I can find out
the name of the
chemical that we use and let you know that later.
