While I know there is nothing in any of the shinos I know about that would

=3D20
I love shinos - on the outside but never use them inside. Or am I missing
something?

Surface condition varies to a large degree, but I am not
familiar with blistered cratered shinos. None of mine are ruff.
Because of the high surface tension of some shinos, they can crawl if
applied thick. Crazing is also often dependent upon the thickness of
a glaze like this.
But I am with David on this. We serve nobody by frightening
folks about shino glazes.
Ugly glazes, imho, are the potter's worst enemy. ;^)
