Glaze chemicals got wet. Help?

[Nors]

Embarrassed that I have to ask this, but I had a box with various bags of newly purchased materials in my car and one of the back windows was left open and it rained overnight. (The child lock was deactivated. Argh.) 

Most are in plastic and therefore fine, but epk, minspar 200, and frit 3134 are in paper bags that got damp. 5 lb bags.  Should I be concerned? Are they fine to use? Should I decant into plastic bins and let dry a bit before closing up? How best to proceed? Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

You will want to thoroughly let them dry out as the added water will throw off the weights when you use them in recipes. Is there somewhere outside that is under cover you can open up the bins and leave them to dry?

Yes, I can definitely do that. I have a perfect spot.  Thank you for the reply.

Dry them out and they'll be fine.

wish i had had this advice back in 1990 when i was building a house and studio.   3 or 4 fifty pound bags were wet and i left them on the ground where thay had fallen after delivery.  2 were frits 3124 and 34.  when the bags were finally dry enough to lift they were no longer rigid but i did not look closely enough before they were tossed in a trash truck and driven off.   what a loss that was.
