Gene,

    What kind of torch are you using? My main torch is acetalyne and it
    works well for some colors, but red is tricky. I haven't tried to
    torch fire an opaque red yet. I do get some cloudy colors on the
    bottom with the acetalyne. Try using Mapp gas with a hot head torch,
    the kind lampworkers use. I have used that successfully on many
    ocasions. As I said though I have not tried opaque red. Maybe I'll
    try a sample today and let you know how it went.
