Is there a problem with storing either glaze materials or prepared
glazes in high temperatures? I live in the San Joaquin Valley where
temperatures can frequently be above 100 degrees Farenheit in the
summer. I am getting an electric kiln next week and building a raku
kiln so I have started getting some glaze materials. For now I am
working in my garage and have no air conditioning or cooler. I realize
that higher temperatures may increase bacterial growth in liquids but
will this affect the glaze other than the smell? Can high temperatures
damage any of the dry materials?

Hi Phyliss,
Higher temperatures encourage solubility - it would be best to choose
materials that are stable in this regard. Gerstley Borate, lithium
carbinate and Neph Sy are three commonly used materials that will influence
the reology of glaze slops.
