hello Burt. If your chemicals are dry I belive most of them are as good as they were 20
years ago.
Until recently I used chemicals of a potter that passed away 30 years ago.
In order not to reinvent the wheel I give you some links:
http://www.milkywayceramics.com/links/dirSub.asp?catid=1&subid=74
and
http://www.masteringglazes.com/Pages/GM1frame.html
After you visit these sites go to:
http://lsv.ceramics.org/scripts/wa.exe?S2=clayart&L=CLAYART&q=&s=glaze+software&f=&a=1998&b=
If you have recipes with materials that are not available anymore you can try and
reproduce them with the glaze calculating software

Hi Joan,
I amswered this to you directly but it came back.
Is this question addressed to me?
There are many calculators on the market - I use Insight and Johns
Hesselberts new program. Let me know off line if you need more on this.
