Just seconding Cheryl Litman's post here. I also just tested Ron's
rev II black and it was glossy black, commercial brilliance. I had
it on a claybody that fires very red by itself so it was predisposed
to be on the dark side. But this was hands-down, no-mistaking-it
black. First black I've seen in my home studio. And none of that
danged manganese in it either. Try this one at home kids.

Thanks Jan,

Now what we need are some reports of how it looks under and or over other
glazes.
