i know for a fact that we are going to spray the
inside of our new salt kiln at the farm with a shino
glaze.
there have been some good reports about this
technique.
donovan agrees that it is worth a try...in fact, at
hay creek, will try anything. then let you know...
even when we fail, and fall on our face, it will
be reported.
that is how we learn.

i am even thinking of dipping the bricks
in shino glaze...let them melt together.
some of our glaze experts, chemists will
splash in here and tell us the facts about
why this will work.

Peter Meanly's article addresses this.
A glass barrier seals the brick and keeps the vapor from
attacking it. He briefly mentions coating soft brick with shino
glaze. He did tests with a commercial glass barrier coat from
England that he tested in over 500 firings with some success. It is
used in the glass making industry. I was in contact with the
company, but while the coating is cheap, the shipping costs were
prohibitive so I dropped that Idea. I think it ships in liquid form.
