I am trying to get a deep chocolate brown glaze so I started with MC6
Fieldmouse and added 6% Red Iron Oxide. I got a nice matte brow,n but =
on
flat surfaces I am getting quite a few pinholes. Well, I assume it is =
the
RIO, am I right? OK, so what do I do, just forget it, soak longer, or =
what?
Any suggestions? Can someone explain why RIO makes pinholes? Oh, and =
yes I
use Ron and John's firing schedule.

Thanks,
