Hello, clayarters!!!
Please, I searched the archives but could not find firetruck more or less
red. I found one in bayle's cone 6 book but it has barium.
I would prefer it to be food safe. I have not analysed it yet to see if it
is stable. Has anyone tryied that with strontium sub?
Any sugestions as to where to begin?
Thank you so much!!!!

If youdon't want to make your own, there is a red glaze that is food
safe....expensive at Bailey's $20 a pint but with 3 coats or a heavy
spray or long dip it is pretty. It is:
Amaco, Sahara Liquid HF Series #HF-56 and is Red Gloss. It is
dinnerware safe. I bought it from the cone 6 section and fire it to
cone 6. I have found a rapid cool down makes the color better. Long
cool down it's more brick red. Hope this helps.

I don't know this recipe, but strontium
tends to give muted, subtle colors
compared with barium.
To get a 'firetruck red' at ^6, you may
have to use the new zirconium-encapulated
stains. They should work consistently in
many different glaze bases. Encapsulation
works both ways, protecting the colorant
from its surroundings, and protecting its
surroundings from the colorant.
Still, possibly best to use a different
glaze for the food-contact areas.

Heloisa,
Amaco velvet underglaze series also has two very good reds. Not very much
cheaper than the price below if you are buying singly. But Amaco gives
40% off on a dozen pints IF YOU LET THEM KNOW YOU ARE A BUSINESS.
They won't ask.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions.
I will look into the products that all of you suggested. Since I am in
Brazil, unfortunatelly they sometimes are a little too expensive for
production pieces but I could still have fun once in a while with a special
piece.
I am using Lana Wilson's burgundy for wine color, which people here like
very much. I will keep you posted if I find a different recipe.
I will look into Mason Stains here too. They probably are not too expensive.
I just would have to check for toxicity.
Thank you again, you all always come to the rescue!!!
All the best,

Heloisa,
PSH Brasil has a fairly wide variety of Mason Stains. If you need
their contact info, just let me know.
