I appreciate you sharing your testing. I just wish you would have taken the pots to a place with natural light. It's really hard to see true color with that yellow lighting.
I made Randy's Red with Spanish red iron oxide and it fired CLEAR at cone 6 oxidation - would you happen to know why? I am always meticulous in my measuring. It's so strange.
I used to use a three beam scale and to be fair 3 beam scales are a lot more accurate. But I have almost never come across a glazed formula that is so meticulous that I have to go into the 00.001 area of numbers. Most places are not that fine, and require just 00.00 place of numbers. To be fair you can buy a gram scale that goes that high and not use a triple beam but at that point it's just tradition versus technology.
@@EarthNationCeramics I spent seven and a half hours in the lab yesterday. I felt like a witchy little geek making my glaze potions. I cant wait to see the results of my line tests. Thanks for your reply. :)
Don't get that glaze mixed up with Ragu Spaghetti Sauce :) When I used to use red iron oxide I would get sores in my nose even if I wore a dust mask. Has anyone else had that problem?

The Spanish blend looks like it has more character. Nicer finish
I like the Spanish version. Your clear glaze is beautiful!!!!

Randy's Red vs Randy's Rojo.
+Alison Miller lol, yes
I like the character of Spanish iron oxide in this glaze. Most of the time it hasn't been a huge enough difference for me
I am taking my first glaze formulation class. Wow, a digital scale looks easier than a 3 beam scale?

wanna be potter here. I just bought my first journal to document tools, websites, clays and glaze recipes. Yah!
thanks for the recipe anyway
You should measure specific gravity and viscosity for glazes
+Assaf Shuval I did once upon a time, but I stopped once I became familiar with how in like my glazes..... So... Um.... Naw
Red spanish...i like it
Spanish Iron Oxide has a lower iron purity between 83-88% compared to RIO which is about 95% purity.
Spanish RIO is cheaper too!
I don't think differences are signifficant enough to bother in looking especially for S.R.I.O.
I mean it came out nice, but not spectacular.
Interestinf, now you can use black Iron Oxide and Yellow Ochre iron oxide, to bad y9u didn't a gas fired kiln with reduction
I got a question for you if a recipe calls for iron oxide ....is that black iron oxide or something else
+cullen snell in the high majority of cases whenever someone says iron oxide they mean red iron oxide

had that problem?
I work at a factory which use tons of iron oxide. Yes it does gave an iron aftertaste (even though I use safety equipments).
Love the Spanish
It’s forbidden pasta sauce...
