Hey everybody,

Vince is so right about those pine cones really putting the black to
my saggar pots. I was trying to get a dark inside to my cylinders, but
I was not looking for black anywhere else. This of course didn't work.
I did find, however, that the red art terra sig I put on the inside of
my first batch gave great color to the insides. I hate plain white
interiors in my pit or saggar pots, yuck!

I have yet to try the ferric chloride on the saggar pots. I forgot and
terra sigged all of them, oops.

Taylor, you can do the ferric over terra sig. You actually get better color
that way. IMHO I paint it on with a brush that has not metal bindings.
