Hi folks,
I am a lucky puppy. I get to be involved in my first wood fire experience
at the end of the month. My question is about the Cone 10/11
shino our studio has had mixed up for 5 years or so and not used. Is it
still good or do I need to mix a new batch?

I would try it as a test first.

Dear Pam;
The reason potters sometimes have to re-mix shinos is that the soluble soda
component changes over time as pots are glazed from the bucket. This is
because solubles are taken up to a greater degree than insoluble materials,
so the 'recipe' actually changes with use. This is very significant when
the glaze contains more than 5% solubles. Of course, if the shino you use
has no solubles(like soda ash), then the glaze should be OK. Hoping you
have a recipe for that shino, Hank in Eugene
