Thank you, David. This may have been just the first or second time I tried using Floating Red. None of my tests with iron reds -- Randy's Red, Tomato Red, Ketchup, etc. ever turned anything but really ugly shades of brown, but this glaze pooled blood red in areas. I was totally shocked to see it. The most I was hoping for was brick red.

Is this over waxwing brown as well and would I find it on this website? Sorry about all the questions George but I do love red and haven't found a good way to achieve it apart from underglazes.
