Can anyone tell me how shinos turn out if the kiln is cooled quickly.
Another potter friend has crash cooled with success with other glazes, but
doesn't use shinos. I may have to do this because of a deadline. If this
won't work, I'll have to do an all-nighter, but I really hesitate to do that
in the neighborhood that the studio is in. We've got a locked kiln yard so
I'm not so worried about me (well, a little) but about my truck in the
parking lot. Plus I'm getting to old for staying up all night.

Connie,
When Malcolm did his crash cool, it was only to about 1900 f (no lower,
maybe slightly higher); then everything was shut up tight until 200 f.
He said (paraphrase): Nothing bad is going to happen at the very top temps,
but lower than that, let it cool slowly, slowly.
