    Have tried this and several other red glazes with no luck. All come out green. I have even tried clear over the red glaze to help keep color true. I use mid fire clay and fire electric to cone 6. Would firing to cone 8 help?

    Rhonda you need reduction to get red. If you fire in an electric kiln which is oxidation
    firing then you will end up with green/blue no matter what cone you fire to.
