R-108 "Raku" questions
Anybody use 104 coe enough to notice if batches have changed? I cannot tell if it's the newest batch or my new torch, but all my raku beads are green, not in a good way. It's like baby poo green. I've turned down my kiln again, I've also turned it up, I've tried super heating or not heating a lot. They go in with good color, but come out yeck
I've read just now searching that some found years back the 104 less saturated than the 96. I never had any problems with 104 being different, so should I try some 96 again? Are you all getting good colors with 96 still?
Another reason I wonder is because the multicolors have changed in the past couple years from some colors to just a cobalt like blue (dark) and a swirly turquoise (light). Still gorgeous, just not 'multicolor' in any way at all now.

So I answered half my question, I found an old rod of 96 R-108, it turned out fine. Now second part, do I order more 96 "raku" or will I waste my money.
I literally have a box on the way from OCR, wish this problem arose before I ordered.

I never ever got any colour out of Raku 104.
But 96 Raku always turned out colourful.

I always order the 96. My experience with the 104 raku was like yours. I was a newbie then so I'm sure that made a difference, but 96 worked for me
