I started the raku first trials in '89 with poor results and effects, then I started to study and speak with industry experts (my father's friends) and the results have changed significantly.
In 1994 I started to exchange my formulas and to show to my teachers the results obtained with long forced reductions in the total absence of oxygen. If I have to tell you the truth, this technique is fascinating and full of surprises and new discoveries, but it is too simple and I think that if anyone has a friend with a good experience in a few weeks becomes a "Rakuista.
I like to give advice, the first and in cooking, not differ between gas and electricity, only time difference, which must be between 900 ° C and 980 ° C (check the thermocouple with a cone or seger orton, part of the moggior have a difference ranging from + / - 25 ° to + / -90 °). The second suggestion is
reductions in manufactured goods, enter your artifact inside the metal container (proportionate to the object) where you previously put sawdust dry well with paper when the paper catches fire seal the container. Object 10 to 15 minutes (for jewelry there is a different trick) average 15 to 20 and so on. If you want the end of the reduction can (not a rule) to immerse the artifact to cool it, and see the result.
If the artifact you do not like you can always rimmettere enamel (with some things) other than or equal above and repeat the entire procedure.
