Hi, I found a bag of Gerstley Borate, which had been soaked with water last
year by accident for a week. The Gerstley Borate is now completely dry. Is
its property the same or has been changed in regards to use as glaze
material?

Chances are it is different. Best way to find out is to fire a test using
the GB and compare it, see if the glaze looks different.
