Here's a question for you guys. I hope there's an easy answer, but I might be out of luck.
My kiln is a homemade propane kiln. It runs off of propane and forced air. The flame is, no matter what I do, a reducing flame.
Now, I got my hands on some Loki's Lipstick rod, and I don't like it when it's reduced. I want to strike it, but it doesn't seem to work.
However, striking ruby in the kiln works just fine, so it's probably only slightly reducing.
Is there a way to oxidize colours without a kiln? I would also like to avoid using the direct flame, on account of all the cracking.
