Marianne,

I meant the glaze getting old in the glaze bucket, not after the pieces are
fired. Have used this glaze on a lot of outdoor pieces (lights and fountains)
and have seen no evidence of deterioration.

My cooling rate on this glaze has been very fast, just shut the kiln off.
Since it has only 2 1/2 " soft brick, it cools very fast. Am going to try
ramp down cooling and see if it makes any difference. Will post the results.

The original glaze get old because the changing of the G.B.
The glazes with G.B. are the only ones that I write on them the date I
have done them. After 6 month, it might be bad. The G.B. being soluble.
The lithium carbonate also partly soluble. More details ask the glaze
gurus.
