RAKANITES (or any in the know)-

I am in search of a killer deep red or any red as far as that goes, gloss
raku glaze. I've not much luck in area of red glazes. I was wondering if i'd
have better luck with a red slip and a clear gloss glaze.. if someone has
time and a glaze they'd like to share, i'll do what i can to repay the favor
and its greatly appreciated..

TIA

I have had pretty good luck just using the Laguna Red premixed pint. I
combine it with a clear crackle and the contrast is pretty good. I have
even used it under the clear crackle without too much problem.

If you hear of any recipies I would appreciate you passing them along to
me.

Thanks a lot and LONG LIVE RAKU!
