Hi Paul,
When you fire this yellow iron, it will soon convert to red iron. But
all irons, just like all clays, are different. Just ask Mel if he
thinks different irons matter. The only way to find out is to try it.
So my answer is "I don't know." You can't tell without testing. I use
yellow ochre in the "amber celadon" glaze, which seems to give more
of a yellow green color, for what it's worth.
We've been getting some amazing yellows from iron glazes fired in the
salt chamber. A friend found four bags of Albany Slip out in the barn
buried under several tons of Lincoln #60, and he gave me a bag. What
a nice present! Albany turns yellow under the salt, and streaks like
a 'hare's fur' glaze. It's a mixture of pleasure and consternation,
loving the yellow glaze but knowing the bag will run out and be gone.
good luck,
Paul Herman

Does anyone have experience it working with yellow iron oxide in reduction?
Does it generally yield colors in the yellow range or does it change when
reduced? I have several pounds sitting around here and am getting ready to
test it in a slip glaze, made with about 50% surface clay that already has
a yellow color to it, and i am curious as to whether or not adding more
yellow iron will give a yellowish glaze.
thanks,
Paul
