Preparation of red lead with easily available material?

khourygeo77 - 12-6-2017 at 10:42

Any idea how this can be done?

I could get the lead oxide (White-yellow) and lead dioxide but not the red lead

I dont have access to well regulated fire to get a heat at around 400-500 deg C to prepare the red lead. Is there any other way?

Thanks
