Finding an iron red that does not run

Finding an iron red that does not run

I have wanted to get a good, deep iron red that does not run. Trying to
stay very basic with common materials, nothing fancy, nothing complicated.

This is the best that I have come up with.

I won't venture a formula, because it has unwashed oak ash that I have
never had analyzed. C7 down, C8 at 3:00. Electric with a programmed
slow cool.

Just learning to work with what I have.
